The salsa dance routines can be complex, but with a bit of practice and perseverance
it will be a shining performance in the end!

La Cubana!
There she sat in the car at the beach east of Havana.
I could not resist. Lots of tempting ingredients. The sun was low,
the girl was pretty and the car had all that pre revolutionary patina
that one need for a nice Cuban cliché.
-Do you mind a picture? I asked.
-No but you have to hurry up, my husband is coming back in a moment
and he is very jealous!
Divine Caribbean view!
Not to many tourists find their way to the southwestern coastline of Dominican Republic!
Got a feeling that this group, does not belong to the ordinary “all-inclusive” category tourists.
Had a short friendly conversation with the man. Cant remember the US state he mentioned as their home!
some christian faith group.. Mennonites? Anybody has a clue?
By the way, we are not far from Paraíso (paradise) You´ll find it between La Cienaga and Enriquillo!

Oye papi..
Tonight in Gothenburg.. Manolito y su Trabuco!
You see a lot of it in Havana. People practising their musical instruments in parks, the Malecon and other places, to avoid irritation from the neighbors.
I was passing by the harbor in Havana late 1993 when I saw this guy rehearsing with his trombone.
I took some pictures, he gave me his card and told me that they earlier that same year had formed a new band that played salsa, timba style.
Several years later there was a concert in Gothenburg/Sweden with a popular Cuban group called Manolito y su Trabuco.
For som reason (deeply hidden in the memory) I searched for that old card he once gave me… and yes, there it was: Manolito y su Trabuco les desea feliz Navidad y un prospero año nuevo…1993!
Brought the photo to the concert and went backstage to meet him. There he was, Juan Carlos (30kg bigger) with his trombone. I gave him the picture, we had a laugh and a nice chat. He invited me to his place in Havana the next time I visited…. And I did, but that´s another story.
Manolito y su Trabuco started as a band 1993. Their first cd came 95. One of Cubas top 3 bands!!
Big mouth, big voice!

Dead but happy!
The urge to share philosophical advice on social media seems endless.
Sometimes its interesting and thoughtful. A lot of the wisdom though are
more of the new age type and that´s when it starts to flip and get really amusing!
This is my contribution on this theme.. don´t worry be happy

The pirate of the Titicaca lake!
Indisposed (to put it mildly) I stayed a few days in the Bolivian village Copacabana, (no, not the one in Rio) at the Titicaca lake to recover.
When most of the amoebas had left my body I rented a rowing boat to get some exercise.
Just below 4000 m above sea level Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. Sitting in a boat looking at the surrounding Andean mountain range is a sublime experience, and if on top of that the pirate of the Titicaca lake appears, there is not much more to desire is there?
The enormous lake is crossing the border between Bolivia and Peru. According to the Peruvian popular humour La parte de caca queda en Bolivia the (caca:shit) shitty part is placed in Bolivia.
In a way I can confirm that!
