The reality of life in Cuba

Friends, we returned to Cuba. All right. Feelings mixed. Like the bones warmed well. But what Cubans are living in terrible conditions - bad.

For me, after all, two important factors:

1. Travel must be a journey, not just lying on the beach. Therefore, for the second time we convinced that the all-inclusive, as a form of recreation - entertainment is not for us.

2. Rest the best in Spain or any other normal country, where the local population is not pity. When you order in Ibiza paella with prawns, the waiter smile, he smiles, you know that after the restaurant closed, he goes to his comfortable home on the coast, and at the end of the season will go on a journey.

When you look at the Cubans feel some uncomfortable feeling that you are so full moneybags came with his master's shoulder you give them a tip. The people are so poor that asks clothes and food. Even money does not ask, because they have nothing to buy - the country's deficit. This is our hotel, beautiful, really?

Or the beach at our hotel.



But I have been known for realism in art!

We kagbe assumed that poverty reigns in Cuba, but that so ... So the village, located half an hour away from our hotel.



Residents are rare vagrants tourists like us at the entrance to the village, asking for clothes. One woman showed us his house.



We express himself with a woman in Spanish (as far as we have enough for this purpose our French). The main point is that living alone, divorced, husband drank and beat, kicked. Children grew up, live separately. The room in the photograph - the only room in the house.



Pride Marcella - her grandson serving in the Cuban army.



In the village there is no water, no electricity. Toilets in the street. View from outside.



Inside (sorry for naturalism).



Not far from the village is the town. There, too, we have visited, of course. In the photo - the main vehicle ordinary Cubans.



But the spectacle of the following pictures struck me, perhaps most of all - all in the vegetable shop, and one in the meat. The population has no money to afford the meat. Notice how unsanitary - no refrigerator, no counters in the heat at 30 C.



But all the propaganda and slogans in praise of the revolution. Long live the revolution!



Homeland or Death! (even once did not say that it is better).



Okay, a little more beauty to you, that was not at all sad. You just do not think that we did not like. Liked. But emotional people go to either do not advise or recommend to lie on the beach, enjoy a Pina Colada and outside the hotel does not stick out of the nose. Something like this. And the sea, that is to say the ocean, there is a wonderful: warm, clean, on the river bank sand - beauty!



All reporting is over!
