Walking the Neighborhood - Santiago Tivoli Neighborhood February 2016
|
|
Here's Liv in Parque Cespedes, the main plaza, which anchored our stay in Santiago overseen by the very elegant cathedral |
 |
| From there we headed down San Basilio, to the Tivoli neighborhood | |
|
and chanced to meet Jacqlin, Mary, and Susan |
 |
|
Delightful chat, including a tour of Mary's house |
 |
|
Looking back up the hill |
 |
|
and on through a neighborhood of mixed quality |
 |
|
some houses lived in |
 |
|
some past their prime |
 |
|
and made our way a couple of blocks over, to Jose Antonio Saco, a pedestrian walkway that extends from the water (Bay of Santiago de Cuba) to Plaza de Marte Dramatic difference in the level of restoration here, isn't there? |
 |
|
|
|
|
working our way down to the water |
 |
|
to Parque Alameda, a huge park that fronts the Bay of Santiago de Cuba |
 |
|
where we met Albert, Ormel, and Leonel |
 |
|
chatting and singing merrily for half an hour we've since corresponded by email |
 |
|
Heading back up the hill |
 |
|
we're again delighted by the bold colors |
 |
|
|
|
|
We encounter Amarilli, and stop for a pleasant chat |
 |
|
and farther up the hill |
 |
|
the neighborhood water delivery |
 |
|
wending our way back up to our casa, we pass the Padre Pico stairs, built in honor of beloved priest Bernardo del Pico Redin |
