Monday January 22: Still in Habana. The Cubans call this winter. We pedaled to Chinatown where I had a fresh grilled lobster for just 6 dollars. It was so yummy. To a Cuban this is at least a weeks salary. Only tourists can afford to eat like this. We then saw the capitol building where Bolisa stands the beautiful Indian woman representing the republic of Cuba. She is a statue 12 meters high. We then took a ferry across the narrow Habana harbor to the 'Christ of the Harbor' statue overlooking the water. On the way back the group decided to not pedal on the 'Malecon' bikeway by the water because there were big waves hitting the harbor wall along side this bikeway. I went it alone trying to time it so I did not get wet. By the end of the ride I was covered head to toe in salt water, but it was a lot of fun and cooled me off! I wiped the salt off my bike when I got back to the house we stayed at( The Morales Particular Casa where I stayed twice before). In the evening we had another splendid meal.
