We got married in Cuba too.


Went down to the beach and said our vows. Beautiful sunset and Full Moon. Beautiful bride and handsome groom.

Trinidad


We rented a car - no, not this one - and visited Trinidad on the southern side of Cuba. Lots of adventure driving on the local roads. The classic car is a 58 Chev. I think it's the newest of the old american cars to get down here since the American - Cuba standoff. The revolution is still popularized with postcards and t-shirts of Che Guevera and Fidel Castro at every tourist station.

Historical Havana

Lots of History in Havana. Old buildings which look unchanged and still a busy port. This photo is taken of an artist's rendition of the port of Havana in the 1600 or 1700's. It was pretty neat to be in The City of the Caribean.

Havana


Sara just loves to go on guided day tours ( just like tailguiding at Wildhorse ) and taking photos. We spent two days in Havana which was very cool, stayed on the 24th floor of the old Havana Hilton, went to the Tropicana for the show and saw all the sights.

Snorkelling from Jibacoa

We got up early a couple of days when the sea was calm and walked right down to the beach put on snorkel equipment and swam with the fishes and the coral reef. I think we had the fish for dinner too.

After Snow there is Sun


Sara and I zipped down to Cuba for two weeks for fun in the sun. Sara surfed the internet for a last minute deal at an all-inclusive resort at Jibacoa. You can see the resort in the background of this photo. Quite a different scene from last spring when I was on a 2 week ski tour through the BC Interior....
