Day 29: Back to Quivican

Morning stroll on the beach..



and a detour to the other side of the spit for a sunrise shot.



then one more fruity breakfast, including some great fresh-squeezed pineapple juice, then various odds and ends and packing for the trip and we're off in our private taxi for Quivican. The driver floundered a bit since we were crossing his usual routes to avoid Havana traffic.

After a stop at a cute burger place called Buganvilla (maybe a play on Burgerville and Bougainvillea?) we arrived in Quivican a half hour early, but caught Isobel and Yusniel as they were returning from the store. A happy reunion for sure, and we were glad to be back in somewhat familiar surroundings with such good, friendly folks whom we know.

Almost an immediate visit to another tia...




who lived in a surprisingly large and well-furnished home with a very modest front, like many of the homes we've seen here.

The rear faced a cemetery, which of course means it's very quiet, and she keeps a number of plants there, including orchids.




She also had an amazing closet for her granddaughter.




Several of the relatives dropped in again, and we had an excellent dinner with Yusniel and Ivan's and Yasi's parents. I couldn't resist a selfie - a bit blurred - don't do many of those.
