December 10 – Back to Havana

After breakfast we headed off for the last leg of our trip to Havana.  We arrived on the outskirts of Havana in time for lunch at another interesting restaurant.  While we waited for food one of the waiters brought out a tray of ingredients that are used for their special dish.  We all had some of the finished product and really enjoyed lunch.

Still more photos of Havana...

and classic cars. 

From there we headed to the Colon Cemetery for a tour.  

Beautifully sculpted memorials,  gravestones, and tombs and over 500 major mausoleums.

One mausoleum we could see in had stained glass windows. 

Some beautiful statues.

We had some relaxation time at the hotel…which is good as it was time to repack.  Then it was off to our farewell dinner at a lovely rooftop restaurant, La Guarida.  As usual, we didn’t really have enough time to finish dinner...

before we headed off for another show…the Legendarios del Gaujirito Show.

The show featured traditional Cuban music and dance.  Lots of percussion and lots of dancing.  The tables were packed together but we had good seats  The stage included a runway that extended well into the room and directly towards us.  So good viewing.   

We didn’t close the place down…it stays open to the wee hours of the morning… but it was late when we left.  And we have a rather early start tomorrow.
