Today´s comment shall continue with the grand tradition of the more verbose, as opposed to the concise impressions of yesterday.
Currently, it´s frickin cold in Havanna, about 6° celsius. The Cubans are freezing their behinds off, and we austrians need our winter gear. The temperature is somewhat worsened by the fact that the windows here are not used to keeping warmth in, or cold out, but rather the opposite.
The Malecón is battered by the waves, with just a breeze to power them.. The destitute state of the buildings along the coast is probably caused by the hurricanes. Waves galore.
We´re currently recording atmos, and filming the usual tourist pics. The straw mentioned in the headline will materialise today at 5:30, so hopefully tomorrow will be a blog of joy for all you peeps.
In related news, Batman clearly emigrated to Cuba.
As phoning from a mobile (and also, getting calls) costs about half an euro per minute, the good old phone card and the associated machines are still very much alive and kicking in Cuba.
"Thanks, I´m the friend of everyone, take good care of me!" Yay. We will, dude. (missing because of stupid b_lögging. uargh.)
In other news: We had an excellent dinner yesterday, "congrís con pescado a la plancha y berenjenas con queso", cooked by our wonderful and essential host, Mercy. Cuban food is far better than it´s reputation! Especially "arroz con frijoles", the staple dish, is quite scrumptious.
so, cheers from the well-nourished nueva vista crew,
