ah very nice you captured raw Cuba. Laundry hanging and a dog in the doorway!! Had to comment as I have a thing for dogs in doorways see my blog [blog=594548]
I am very pleased you wrote about your experiences with the Jinteros. I too had my run ins with dozens while going across Cuba but was too shy to write about it. In Cienfugos/Trinidad it was pretty bad, but even if I went to a casa de musica just to enjoy the music, I would be zero'd in on and hussled constantly. Their desperation was very sad at times. My homestay families were the reason I was able to overlook this, they made me feel very welcome and did not ask for anything in return. Aplausos para viajar sola!!
Confused? We're heading over to Cuba next week but that currency merry goround sounds awfully convoluted. We'll just have to grit the teeth and dive in and refer back to your blog.
I am sure you will get the drill when you get there. It's a wonderful country and you just have to chose how to live. It's either the tourist way or the cuban way. And remember, there is NO internet in Cuba. The only way is to go to a hotel where 15 minutes will cost you 2.50 CUC. Happy traveling and thank you for reading.

Parapluie du pauvre Pour Cécilia et Magali, même photo mais prise sous une pluie battante ... Donc, nous avons pu testé l'efficacité du "Parapluie du pauvre"...:)
Poor thing! Sun burns are the worst! I hope you are feeling better my dear. I'm sure you've got your chin up and you're having a great time and dancing despite the discomfort :)
Hugs and kisses!

:) Hello Courageous Marina! Good for you for taking advantage of your days! Haha...seems like you are learning something new each day there...Greetings from the airport in Amsterdam:)
я рада что ты добралась более-менее благополучно. Пока будишь учить части света и как по ним ориентироватсмя, рекомендую купить компас. Пожалуста не ходи по опасным кварталам. Много не тануцй. Будь прилежной ученицей. Очень люблю. Сильно скучаю. Целую. Мама.
January 2012: I quit my job, sold my car, bought a one-way to Costa Rica ticket and... Here I am in Latin America exploring the nature wonders and learning to travel solo. I hope you are going to enjoy traveling with me as this is meant to be a voice of my experience. ... full info
