Old Town Havana

 

Among other sights:

 

• a knife sharpener on bicycle;

• former Batista-era mansions of the long-departed wealthy now used as embassies;

• a centuries-old fort now used as a police station;

• street sweepers, the most unsung heroes of the revolution;

• construction workers using the street as their cement mixer;

• streetside booksellers stocked with the writings of and about Che, Fidel, Marx, etc. in the Plaza De Armas; and

• a statue in the Plaza Vieja dedicated to the prostitutes of Havana and everywhere.
