Ok folks! Day 3 in Cuba is coming to an end. I have continued to go to El Cafe for that brunch. I have successfully been able to do 2 meals a day since arriving with no snacking in between, critical to keeping insulin low! Last night I had a lovely garden salad, the shrimp with garlic and butter, and a little melting pot of Eggplant, Tomatoes, Onion and Cheese. This was at a place called San Cristobal, Obama stopped in there when he was here.
Today we did the old car tour in a 57 Ford. The driver told us the apartment building in the picture was built with NO ELEVATOR... seriously can you imagine?!?! Then I tried to take a picture of The Hotel Nacional and got photo-bombed by some Cubans who were pumped to be in the picture. I managed the hotel, the flag and the lovely Cuba logo - nailed it!
Tonight I ordered Beef "fajitas", strips of steak with vegetables and teriyaki sauce. I don't ever eat teriyaki, so was a bit bummed to come back to the hotel and google "how to make ter..." sigh SUGAR is one of the main ingredients. No wonder it was so good. It's ok, live and learn. We stopped at Floridita - Hemingway's favourite haunt and the crew had the famous Daiquiri, I declined.
Night Night
