Todos estos días (meses, quizá) he estado lejos de todas las redes, incluyendo todo el ecosistema de Hive. Las razones son muchas, y los deseos de seguir hablando de lo mismo (el monotema de los cubanos

A very quiet café in Playa. Exactly on 26th between 1st and 3rd, very close to the sea. Compares to other prices in the area, highly recommended 😅. The quality is also very good. I got my lunch there

Hi everybody! This gorgeous baby is Nagini. She's not dangerous and veeeery patient with her fans. My mum almost got a 💜 attack when she saw these pics but I'm sure you'll love her 🥺
