Our last port of call was Old San Juan and although it was very warm)no, HOT), I enjoyed the meandering around the old city streets. I've never been to Cuba, but imagine the buildings and streets to be much like this. There were lots of pastel storefronts and cast iron railings jutting out from second floor windows. One thing that caught my eye was all the blue-tinted cobblestones on the narrow passageways. What's that all about? Well, it was a fabulous 9 day cruise, just chocked full of wonderful memories. Cruising is all about this--unlike back home, when you get up in the morning and scan your day, there is never anything that HAS to be done. Love it and can't wait to to go again.*By the way, some of you have asked about seeing more shots of our little 'adventure'. If you haven't done so you might want to check out this site-

Love the perspective in this one, Birdman.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Cuba but this looks like my image based on photos have seen. If you had some 50's American cars it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis shot has a great feel to it. Love the cobblestone. And, if this is an alley it is amazingly clean.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I love the cobblestone. Interesting perspective.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time. This photo is very charming. I love the colors and the cobblestone street.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully composed shot and great colours!
ReplyDeleteThose cobblestones were brought all the way from Spain in the 1500's. They are considered national heritage and anyone trying to steal them are put to jail! Beautiful photos, by the way!
