Viva Cuba!

Hello everyone,
 
We are in Havana Cuba and are completely charmed!  It is such a beautiful, intriguing, fascinating city with sumptuous art nouveau buildings and incredibly friendly people.  We have been staying in a Casa Particular (read B & B) and truly feel like we are part of the family; it is such a great way to really meet the Cuban people.
 
We are leaving on the bikes tomorrow and are very excited about being on two wheels again.  We will be folllowing the north coast going west and then head south to the Vinales Valley.  I hope to be writing some more in an internet cafe in about 1 week to 10 days.
 
Sorry for the lack of visuals but I have to wait to be able to post photos.
 
Much love from our family!
 
Martine

Mural project with friends

We are visiting our friends and hosts extraordinaire, Dan and Nancy, who live just on the outskirts of San Jose.

We just spent a week on the Caribbean Coast and were able to meet with the Sibbald family (fellow Rosslanders) for an afternoon. It was lovely.

We are leaving Costa Rica and flying to Cuba tomorrow. We are looking forward to be on our bikes again in Cuba.

Love

Martine

Small world

We are on the Caribbean Coast in the village of Cahuita. Today we went to walk in a beautiful park along the ocean and saw lots of wildlife. Yesterday on the beach we ran into someone from Rossland! Robin who works at Rossland Rec and her two daughters Devan and Ellie. I love it when these serendipidous moments happen.
