HAVANA, CUBA

Street Scene

September 17-21--Havana, Cuba--This trip was more of a pligrimage to see the Pope. Thus the photosmade were mostly grab shots during the group tour I was on.  So my images were quick snaps of places we visited.  The colors are amazing, you can see the architectural beauty in the buildings and homes.  If and when everything can be restored, it will be amazing.  However, what you see now is truly powerful

Cuba & The Pope

Waiting for the Pope along the parade route

Sept 17-21--Havana, Cuba--One of the most exhilarating and wonderful trip to see The Pope on his travel to Cuba.  Unlike, the high security protocol in other parts of the world, during the Cuban visit the security detail was present but not as ominous as seen in other countries.  We were safe and so was The Pope.  Over a million people gathered along the parade route and at the Sunday mass.
