Cuba

Ted (left) lost his backpack in the cab. In it, a few thousand dollars for the trip and his passport.
His friend, Rafael, frantically dials the cab company to recover it.
Victor from Vedado. Repairs small electrical appliances.
Swears he'll never see an iPhone in Cuba this lifetime.
Dreams of getting a container of our used small electronics.
The Malecon by The Melia Cohiba Hotel.
At high tide, the storm drains become blowholes.
For the love of my camera, I am unable to document this.



I think this means no photo.
Carpenter making a double decked dove carrier for a friend.








Indutriales (Cuban baseball team) home game.

No hot dogs here but ham sandwiches are popular.



Street vendors at one of the gates.

Patient waiting his turn at the Vedado Polyclinic.
"Che" watches over.
Morning gossip in Old Havana.
Quick to take his shirt off to show his 16 inch biceps.
He didn't think my "Chino" 13 inch biceps were too shabby.
The old wall and the new one coming up on the right. Pity. 
A local and his 25 cent ham sandwich breakfast. 
This gentleman sold me his last 3 dulces for the price of 2.
He wheels them around old Havana in a modified baby buggy,
500 dulces were sold out by 10:00 AM.
