El Cristo de la Habana — El Cristo de la Habana

We stopped at the Christ of Havana statue. It was that big one we saw as the ship was pulling in to port.

You can see, the sign says it's made of Carrera marble imported from Italy. It was blessed by the XII Pope before it was shipped and blessed by Cardinal Manuel Arleaga when it arrived in Havana. It's located 51 meters above sea level and is 20 meters high. It's formed by 77 pieces that all weigh 320 tons.

I'm not sure what the statues were supposed to represent. These people were from older times and drinking wine.

We just liked it. We walked around Key West, Bill bought a hat at Margaritaville and then we came back to the ship. It was almost time for the ship to leave port.

Embrace of Peace — Embrace of Peace

We saw this statue in Civitaveccia. It was called "Unconditional Surrender." The sculptor said because of the criticism of people who view it as a drunken sailor grabbing an unwilling woman in public, he changed the name to "Embrace of Peace."
