Fusterlandia!

Cuban artist Cuban artist José Fuster moved in to a house in Jaimanitas. He decorated his studio in colorful mosaic tiles. When he was finished, he asked his neighbors if he could decorate their houses and businesses. His art has turned Jaimanitas from an economically depressed area to, now, a place where tourists are regularly bussed.

Irma

Irma was our guide inside the Necropolis Cristobal Colon. She was talking so fast that there was no time to take notes and she had no patience for stragglers or talking. She told us she had plenty of other things to do if we didn't want to hear her tour and she only had so much time. LOL!!!
