Happy Cubas around the Plaza de Cathedral.<br />
The first of the five central plazas in Old Havana was the cobblestoned<br />
Plaza Vieja where we let our camera shut- ters doing<br />
most of the talking! Not far from the Plaza Vieja is the Plaza de la<br />
Catedral, home to the Catedral de San Cristóbal, a grand symbol<br />
of La Habana Vieja. These plazas are flanked with gorgeous 18th<br />
century Cuban Baroque limestone mansions decorated with embedded<br />
local coral and seashells.<br />
A few steps from San Cristóbal, on Calle Empedrado is the<br />
legendary bar, La Bodeguita del Medio. It was small and packed<br />
with camera toting, mojito swilling tourists -- it would have surly<br />
annoyed it’s most famous customer Ernest Hemingway. At four<br />
Cuban bucks a pop the rum, sugar and mint drinks were very<br />
good, indeed.<br />
Strolling down the street from the bar is the Ambos Mun- dos<br />
Hotel, where Hemingway started writing his novel, “For Whom the<br />
Bell Tolls.” You can hear those church bells tolling all day in Havana.<br />
