Day Trip ~ Havana ~ Part 2

After a very full morning of stops

off and on the bus

we stopped for lunch and readied ourselves

for the afternoon

which was a walking tour of 

Old Havana

Hats on and lubed up with sunscreen

we set off

this is the restaurant where we had lunch

it was gorgeous and the food was good

they have been refurbishing most of the buildings in this area

bringing them back to their heyday

again ~ the architecture was beautiful

the stonework and ironwork

is all one of a kind

our guide told us that they apprentice in one or the other

and can take years to master

this awning was all stained glass

next was on to the La Floridita Bar

which was one of Hemmingway's favorite haunts

it had an old working elevator

which was very cool

one of the street performers

again ~ one of the beautiful old buildings

with the columns

I wish that this had of turned out better

because it was amazing

it was a mural on the wall depicting the past

but as you can see ~ the sun was not kind to me

or maybe it was my photographic ability!

one of the last stops on the walking tour

was the cathedral

it was a blessed day

this cutie was our tour guide

Danny ~ he was a sweetheart!

I am still making my rounds ~ catching up on posts

and commenting when I can

Hope everyone has a wonderful week-end

and I wish all you Mom's out there

a Happy Mother's Day.
