For the last day in Cuba, Kenzie wanted to stay on the ship in the kids club, so Jodi and I headed out on our own for a walk around Havana.  We were looking for some gifts to bring back (including some cigars) and ended up chatting with some people along the sea wall walk.  They suggested a little place off the beaten path where we could get a great deal.  This was definitely not the “government store”, but we were feeling adventurous. 🙂

We were told to go was down this neighborhood street, make a right at the yellow building (all the buildings were yellow), then look for the alley on the right.  What could go wrong?  So off we went, and before we knew it we found these 3 nice (and very large) gentleman monitoring the entrance to an alleyway and they escorted us down through a corridor, and eventually into some lady’s living room.

As promised, there was a wide selection of fine cigars.  What a country!  I was not about to take any pictures, but I did happen to leave my GoPro running on my shoulder so I managed to pull a few shots of the experience from it.  Definitely, an experience to remember!
