North of 49

As I said earlier, I am now posting some of my Cuba pictures. Hope you all enjoy them!




Me arriving at the airport in Cayo Coco.


The view from our room.


My first ever jelly coconut. It was delicious anad filling. It's like a meal, so I had them for breakfast and lunch on a regular basis.


Our resort. It was very small, which was perfect for me. Only about 47 rooms, so it's nice and quiet. The best part is, when I want to party, I had a pass to all nearby resorts for unlimited fun. Such a sweet deal...


Some stuff I saw in a lagoon on our second day in Cuba...It was pretty.


My Mom dancing to the tunes of a band in, guess where...A postcard shop in the lagoon.


A monument to Che Guavera.


Some of the architecture in Cuba.


This is the phone company building.....I shit thee not...


Me and Chris in Moron...Stop giggling...


Some more architecture and a cool car from the 50's...


These fish were in my face...Literally...


My friends Derek and Anna snorkeling with us...


A shipwreck that our guide led us to. It was fun to explore...


More fish and a shipwreck...


It was so cool to see this stuff...


Cropping of coral. I found a sea urchin hiding under there...


Some more coral. Unfortunately, my shitty camera didn't capture all the beautiful colours that are down there...


Catamaran! I loved these things. They were awesome to be on...


Carlos, our Catamaran steerman. Nice guy, but didn't know too much English so Spanish was needed for most conversations...


Me in full scuba gear setup.


It's like a desert almost on the sea floor. Except there are more pretty colours...


This was only a small part of a huge outcropping of coral. We ride over endless sand dunes(it felt like a desert) and then this huge reef pops up in front of us, teeming with all sorts of life and different kinds of fish(schools of them). It was such a majestic sight with the sunlight coming through the water...


Some great architecture in the Provincial Capital, Ciego De Avila.


It's like going back in time, which I loved.


An old Spanish Manor that had been turned into a museum.


The staff decided to randomly have us eat outside for a specially prepared grilled-everything lunch. It was amazing...Those Cubans sure know how to cook...


Our private beach at Villa Gaviotta.


Me chillaxin' on the beach with a drink...Life is soooo hard.


Salsa band! They were really good.


Me and Denis on the return trip to our resort. We look hammered, but we're actually just really fuckin' tired.


Me and some of the Cuban girls on my last day in Cuba...


Me and Mary in a sugar mill. It was like Dante's inferno and there were literal mountains of sugar behind us.


Denis and Orley in The Cave, which was an underground discothecque. Denis is a teacher in Toronto and Orley is in Medical School.


The Cuban girls playing volleyball.


Mary and Denis in The Cave.


Alberto. A really great guy. Makes good seafood and always has a story and a smile on his face.


A random beach and random catamarans I saw one day...


A nice little one man beach on an island just off of Cayo Coco. So peaceful there.


Hermes the Hermit crab. I named him Hermes because that little fucker could move when he wanted to.


Me steering the big massive boat! Kidding. The real Captain was on the deck above us.


Playa Pilar. A fine white sand beach. So soft and nice. But really hot. Damn that Caribbean sun...


I was not leaving Cuba without taking this picture. I got a Cuban cigar in my mouth, a jelly coconut in one hand, and a bottle of cheap as hell Havana Club rum, leaning on a palm tree, with the beach and ocean behind me(you can't see it, but it's there).


Me and my Mom at the end of our Cuban Vacation.


Back in the freezing yet amazing Canada, my cat Misou is very happy to see us. She sniffed my bag because it smelled like Cuba.




And that's it! Hope you enjoyed them...
