My Continuing Havana Story

I last left you sitting with me in Café Europa. If it seems we’ve been there a long time, trust me, we were – or at least I was. This is not a “fast food” establishment – the waiters will get to you when they get to you. The food is plentiful, drinks are good and the entertainment cannot be beat. However, every pleasant afternoon needs a little more variety. So, after saying my good-byes to the band, the dancers and paying my extremely reasonable bill, I headed back to the streets, wandering along – and in and out of various marketplaces. Interesting things I encountered…
