The more touristy streets in Old Havana are relatively clean with some renovated buildings.

It was so hot that we barely remembered to take pictures of ourselves

Once in a while there are beautiful tiles on the bottom of buildings

Some amazing buildings in need of restoration

I am always pleased to see a Russian car. In such a hot climate you sometimes have to take your shirt off :)

Small shop with housewares probably run by a person from his/her house

Pharmacy

People going about their daily life

Kids being kids, playing on the doorsteps their home. Somehow Crocs made it down here :)

Or on the basketball court

We were looking for but couldn't find much communist propaganda, only once in a while an image of Che Guevara would appear

Or Che and Fidel Castro images on some postcards in a bookstore

My "Old Havana Street" painting was inspired by the colorful buildings on Lamparilla street in Old Havana
