RIO DULCE, GUATEMALA (click on photo to enlarge)

Tortugal Marina, where "Appleseeds" is now resting for the hurricane season. She deserves it after the 1800 miles that we just put her through!  (Come to think of it, so do we!!) We will see her again November 1, when we come back to the river, clean her up & head off to Belize.

DIVING ON OUR RETURN TO ROATAN

A juvenile drumfish,  me swimming with the turtles, a green moray eel,  a midnight parrot fish, crab & grouper.

CAYMAN ISLANDS

 

Left Cienfuegos, Cuba, and travelled overnight, arriving at Cayman Islands. Stayed 5 days. Beautiful "7 Mile Beach", but waaaay too many cruise ships. At one point, there were 15,000 people roaming around the little town!!Headed back to Roatan via Swan Island, another over-nighter.
 

STREET TROUBADOURS (Trinidad, Cuba)

 

TEXTILES AT THE MARKET

 

WELCOME TO TRINIDAD, CUBA

Trinidad is a perfectly preserved Spanish settlement, but  in 1988, Unesco declared it a World Heritage Site & the tourists come by the busloads now. We found the street hustlers to be just a bit too annoying for our liking, but the historical element was enchanting.

 

 

 

ARRIVING IN HAVANA (click on any photo to enlarge)

Havana was once a stunnning city, but much of it now is in disrepair. Some of the areas are under restoration & those buildings are beautiful. The strrets are full of tourists, mostly Europeans &  Canadian. The people here are incredibly friendly, which makes it a wonderful city to visit.
