Let the music play because when I write the title of this post it was the first thing that came to my mind... mamma mía hahaha... I love the saxophone. 🤣 Truly, it's just what came... and someone is hot right now watching this video... 😂
Come on, refresh your brain... I wish I had the qwerrie snowball, but what I have is this for you.
A very cold (non-alcoholic) malt I bought myself, along with a peanut bar and I had some bread in my backpack. So I made a little snack out of that. Cyclists need to be nourished to perform well and not faint on the road.
Enough with the hot flashes and fainting spells! Let's get down to business today!
Once upon a time, the neighbour on one side of my house suggested a bike trip and it turned into a funny Sunday. Destination unknown. Well... we knew that we would pick up, in Old Havana, another neighbour, the one on the other side of my house, who would be accompanied by his friend. And that's it. Well... we also knew that I was going to take pictures of everything that happened on this adventure.
Paseo del Prado, Old Havana.
However, this is a sneak preview because I want to make a video of our adventure and say a few more tidbits. Now I'm tired and can only manage to type a few loose ideas.
When we arrived at the Harbour Avenue, we decided to board the boat that crosses the Bay to the village of Casablanca.
It was already a bit late... I knew that if we went there, it would be night before we could get back. However, I stopped thinking so much and gave myself up to laughter and enjoyment.
Do you want to see how I turn a funny Sunday into a sublime one? 😁
🤣 Joke. I didn't have to do anything. Nature is the best architect of our palaces of happiness. These are the views I got from the boat with my mobile phone.
When we got off the boat and left the terminal this is what I saw.... plus other things, of course. 😄
There was an exhibition there by a Greek photographer. 😱 And I said: Stefanos (
See those wires up there? That's because that's the terminal where the only electric train in Cuba leaves from: the Hershey Train. I really don't know if it's running. But I can tell you the curious history of that train.
It is named after the famous American chocolatier who had it built a century ago, covers the 98 km distance between Havana and Matanzas province, has two cars, and passes through the small town of Hershey, where the American businessman built a sugar mill in 1916, now in disuse. Ecured
If it works, one day the crazy woman I have tied up inside can get loose and with bicycle and all, I'll go to Matanzas on that train. 🤣
As I didn't see any trains around and this is a cycling community, what I show here is a bike of someone who sells a kind of sweets called Pastel Oriental.
I also want to share with you some other pictures I took with my friend the Panasonic Lumix. I have to edit them and I am very tired. They will come out step by step... and this is my way of bringing you here for a few minutes to enjoy the places I enjoy as well.
One at least today. I'm not going to be such a bad person.
Two?
Can you see me there? 😀
Ok, three?
About the Christ of Havana.
It is the work of the Cuban artist Jilma Madera, who used 600 tons of white marble from Carrara (Italy) to sculpt it. It consists of 67 pieces and weighs 320 tons. The monument measures 20 metres and its pedestal measures 3 metres. It is located 51 metres above sea level and on an axis with the Havana Cathedral. The sculpture was unveiled on 25 December 1958.
Among the things that have been happening around here these days, obviating the medical issue and its complications, I'll tell you that I sold my mountain bike on Saturday... I sold it for the same price it cost me. Maybe you'll see it around, who knows. It's just that my neighbour had bought a really bad one that was always leaving him stranded and I told him to sell that one so that he could keep mine. So he did and now he's very happy, you'll see. I will keep the money to see if in the future I get my wish to have a Gravel. 😉 This is a plan that has the freedom to express itself... anywhere... well I'll leave it there.
On the other hand, as my cycle computer doesn't transmit data to Strava, I decided to make this to keep the stats that it collects on each of my rides.
