It was so warm it was hard to think it's Christmas season. There also weren't many Christmas decorations around Cuba. Our guide told us the government, until Fidel Castro's last year, discouraged religion and not many people there celebrate Christmas. In Fidel Castro's last few years, he turned more to religion and the country is following a bit.

It was pretty long. Bill was happy we didn't have to stand in the regular line.
The wall lamps and the back mirror, so cool!
I loved all the furniture and the textures. The column looks like fabric but it's metal.
We left Tunica and drove to our hotel in Memphis, The Guesthouse at Graceland. It was very cool!
Very cute but I wouldn't want a room here. It seems like it would be loud.
The cruise will take us through the Christmas holidays!
Checking out the ship!
We just loved this hotel. Look at the decor, the old luggage, the mannequin, so cool!
Cool lighting!
