So we set off for the downtown area, for a few reasons. We wanted to see what was possible as tours to the Caleta Bueña, or to Sancti Spiritus. Bottom line is that you can't get here from here. Unless you rent a car. And we are going to be moving house in a few days, so there is that uncertainty as well.
But today was a good time. Went back to the Parque José Martí, bought tickets for the concert tomorrow night, walked around, went out to the paladar Aché for lunch (Richard was good and ate lightly; me, not so much). Then home to meet with Amed, but that turned instead into another discussion about, this time, power usage.
Cienfuegos is a beautiful city, although it is still in great disrepair. But, as opposed to Havana, it cools down at night, and is actually very pleasant. I am sitting now in the living room of the house, listening to Benny Moré on the computer, enjoying the breeze, and watching the daylight fade. Amed is cooking shrimp for tonight, and I can hardly wait.
