| Home | Walking the Neighborhood - Vedado |
|
Our first casa particular in Havana sits on the street (Infanta) that divides Vedado from Centro Near the Hotel Nacional |
 |
|
Our first full day in Cuba, Liv and I hit the streets walking Our casa was just a block from the Malecon, an 8km esplanade along the sea |
 |
|
Then down Calle 23 (aka La Rampa), a busy commercial street A bit of sloganeering to start the day "Long Live Free Cuba!" |
 |
|
Calle 23 has wi-fi hotspots, with people hanging out with their smartphones |
 |
|
Vedado has historically been middle- and upper-classeas |
 |
|
Tranquil, leafy |
 |
|
But then we encountered these 3 ebullient youths |
 |
|
Like all areas of Havana that we saw, though, Vedado is a mix of solid and crumbling, of maintained and neglected |
 |
|
Liv (on left) chats with Sofia, who lives in relatively comfortable quarters |
