everything but the kitchen sink
I *may* have followed this woman for a few blocks trying to get a shot of her new sink. I wish I’d seen the place where she purchased it – I did go into one store that was nearby and saw their section titled “quincalla” (hardware) but never made it to the section for “fregaderos de cocina” (kitchen sinks).

exhausting
This is an extremely typical street scene, with a tight mix of cars and people and streetcar tracks and motorcycles. And cobblestones and asphalt and potholes and puddles. Oh, and some exhaust fumes, too.

it was his move
If I knew anything more than just the most basic of things about chess, perhaps I could offer an analysis of what was going on in this street-side game.
So, really, the only thing I can offer is to note that it’s cool the way those chess pieces are the same color as the wall.

estefanía and kids and cars
The ballet dancer attracted a group of onlookers, including these kids. She was gracious enough to pose with them and everyone seemed pretty happy about it.
(As an added photographic bonus there was a row of vintage cars parked right there.)

love + mosaic
We spent the first morning in Cuba wandering the streets of Cojímar, a town near Havana. The place is considered to be an inspiration for The Old Man and the Sea and there’s a monument to Ernest Hemingway. In the 1940s, what may or may not have been the largest whale shark ever was caught nearby; there is – according to Wikipedia – “considerable controversy” over the accuracy of the measurements.
In modern times, actor William Gutiérrez-Levy and singer-songwriter Camila Cabello are both from Cojímar.
The woman in the photo is not Hemingway, Guitêrrez-Levy, or Cabello.
But probably you figured that out. Especially the part about how she’s not Hemingway.
