BACK DOOR TO CUBA

Last night was a "Super Moon", the closest to Earth since 1948 and last til 2034. Beautiful to see through the leaf-less trees at home. Seemed like a super time to get to the airport and de-ice the wings from the moon-frost. Then up up and away to a Super Sun that created this ultra-red illusion out the window. We're off to Cuba again, but the best price and flight times involve a stopover in Mexico.



Classic Mexican hotel Parador right across the street from the airport bus for tomorrow morning, C$28 with pool and staff muy gentille. Local transit means jumping the many 50 cent shared collectivos. High energy vibe on the street as everyone has their own life to lead. Notice the Subway Canadiense?!?




Lots of cool cars in the park but they are truly minis! And how can you resist deep-fried douigh churros? But more seriously, November is Mo-vember around the world to raise awareness of prostate cancer. An excuse not to shave for a month --- I'm in!



Prime Minister Trudeau will be in Havana tomorrow and so will we. But then we'll be hiking in the outer fringes so internet may be spotty or non-exisitent. Not sure of where/when the next post will be....
