  • Cuba 140- Everyday life

    Like most everybody everywhere, everyday life is what your norm is. To you it's not unusual however extraordinary it may seem to outsiders.

    Grandma minds the TV aerial, it's held up with anything that comes to hand.



    Chatting across the street.



    Julio The Shoe Mender sits with his face next to an unguarded fan.



    Washing-up at the roof sink.



    Riding side saddle.



    Queuing for breakfast at a popular "cafe".



    Stopping for a ciggi mid delivery.

    Again, once more a set of life in Cuba which I find most enjoyable.

    Some of your recent Cuba posts are so colourful. I wonder now they are part of the West, so as to speak, the Island will remain so?

    Just like that - gone in a flash! Now in use.

      I think it is a bit like Venice Barr1e, without the sun it would seem a very different place!

              I like the "Riding side saddle" pic best. And the shoe mender. Presumably he gets a quick shave while he's working.... But they sure show the conditions. Are these slums, or "normal" accommodation?

                Quite normal for the vast majority.

                        There are lots of funny T's in Cuba, mostly donated clothes from tourists. All mine where bought new for the trip and given away, but my lucky Cubans got plain ones!
