Four Rauls

 Mañana en la cocina de Tere.

 La guagua.

Four Rauls.

Reicito Pionero

Reicito getting ready for a wildlife excursion with school (a common activity for Cuban kids as part of their "Revolutionary" education).

Back to Playa 16

Celebrating 5 months of having known each other at Playa 16 where, on the night we met, we conversed until the sun came up.

Necrópolis de Cristóbal Colón

Taking notes, makin' plans! Due to rain and my being sick, we didn't get much done this month.

 "They don't let us in here."

 Necrópolis de Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus), the largest cemetery in America.

Photos weren't allowed, so I shot from the hip (literally). Raul's aunt Mercedes, a former colonel, is buried here.

Similar to el Presbítero Matías Maestro in Lima, the marble work is fascinating.

Façades....

Beauty.

"We salute 50 years of the Victory of Girón"... apparently, this kind of street art is permitted/encouraged!

Mattress repair.

Morning 199

Combo

Combo, Raul's grandfather's American Standard who bit me back in May, was poisoned by the neighbors shortly after my visit.

Baby bunnies...

Only the best-- Metusalem rum from Santiago de Cuba.

Dominó

Fly by Raul.

This guy showed up on the shower curtain.

Raul's younger half-brother, also named Raul (after Raul the father, Raul the uncle, Raul the grandfather.... ¡ay, mi madre!).
