I feel so comfortable here...: Photos 21 to 42

Wow...it has been a while since I have had the chance to write. Many reasons...mostly just too busy and internet is only available in the state sponsored (everything here is state sponsored) Communications office in the larger, more touristy towns. I spent some of last week in towns with no tourists...so there was no internet.
I have had so many amazing experiences in the last week...impossible to remember or acceptably/accurately recount them all. But I will try. :)
The smaller and more isolated town of Baracoa on the far South/East side of the island has been my favorite place so far. From the moment our tourist bus descended into the small coastal town down on the winding, mountainous road...just beautiful moment. At one moment I saw turquoise water, mountains of palm forests blowing in the breeze, small wooden but well kept houses surrounded by gardens full of flowers, chickens, goats, pigs, etc...Old colonial buildings with worn used-to-be-bright paint, metal balconies, red tile roofs...Families of everyone from old grandparents, pet doggies, and small children playing in the old, worn down parks with metal swings, see-saws, merry go rounds...all facing the turquoise ocean, always with salsa music coming from someone's home or restaurant
