Piropos

  In Havana there is a shortage of things we take for granted, medicine, clothes, hygiene articles etcetera.

But the one thing that’s not lacking is the sensual game that constantly is played between men and women in the streets.

Compliments, whistles, appreciating looks, comments and courting where ever you go.

Piropos: compliments

Under the wire..

 Hurry up to the black market for some beans, eggs and milk. It´s getting dark, the children are waiting for dinner back home.
