“Los Benavides” street in Luyano, Havana 1996. “El período especial”… no more Soviet Union, no more economical assistance. This meant tough times for the Cubans.

Who’ll Stop The Rain!
The Bruce Springsteen initial song tonight kind of fits in to this post.. At this moment I can hear him sing at Ullevi in Gothenburg. Second concert of two. Yesterday was sunny
today it´s been raining quiet a bit. Lots of people and nice atmosphere at the arena.
Dragrace in Havana!
At the Carnival in Havana February/March 1996 I met these cuties on the Prado. No worries here!
Hard bargain!

Painting Havana!
Havana, after decades of poor maintenance is a grey city. Needs a bit of painting!
Color Cubano!
Black and white is all fine but sometimes color is the motive…

Falemenderi shumë Albania!
After two weeks in Albania the dim prejudice I had about the country has changed dramatically in a positive way!
If you are the demanding, inflexible type that needs perfect service and everything up to date.. go somewhere else.
But if you like smiles and welcomes that comes from the heart this is the place to go.
peaceful, secure, relaxed, fantastic landscapes, good food, a thriving national culture and such a lovely people!
(I know there are complications…. drugs, corruption etcetera. I am just giving my 14 days first impression here!)
Thank you very much Albania… Valentina, Nick, Silvana and other friends
