Havana is, as is Cuba in general, rich in art - it's
everywhere and is happening all the time. Hardly a bar or restaurant doesn't
have live music on offer and the streets also provide great opportunities
for impromptu performances. You never know what's round the next corner which is
what makes the city so vibrant. Unfortunately what can't be shown is the
artwork of some great Cuban painters which can be found in the gallery in old
Vieja. Has it ever seen the light of day in exhibitions throughout the world -
we doubt it. But there was more than enough going on to capture memories
of.........
                   
   
Yes - we bought a CD !
     
 and in Baracoa - great memories of an evening at the local
Trova......
  and finally, in ancient fort Castillo de la Fuerza which
guards Havana's sea entrance we found a model of something much closer to
home!
 HMS Victory! and so to a tale of the unexpected!.......
