Day 2: Down by the Bay

We decided to head down towards the water for our first trip out after breakfast. It was a short walk, only about 10 - 15 minutes or so. The Cuban waterfront is bustling with activity; the first thing we noticed were the cars. Both old and new cars can be seen parked side by side, it would seem as though there was a significant period of time during which Cuba was not able to get new cars. It is probably because of this that there are very old or very new cars and nothing in between.

There were a few activities going on down by the water. In the area many people could be seen fishing while sitting on the concrete walls that lined the bay area that opened out into the ocean.

And a small lighthouse and garrison could be seen on the other side of the inlet displaying a few cannons pointing enemy ships long gone.

There were also more cannons on the side of the bay that we were standing on, they were made of solid black iron and probably have not been used in years.

The weather was fairly nice during our trip, warm days with overcast so the sun wasn't beating down on you every second. There were also many other statues including one of Neptune and another of Jesus which was located on the other side of the bay.
