Magnificent Cienfuegos Building

I had mentioned in the previous post the opulent building in Cienfuegos with the Moorish arches on the lower floor and Gothic arches above. The building, I was told, was built by a French fellow as a wedding present for his daughter. So here are a few shots.

Moorish arches are also referred to as horseshoe arches. The Gothic arches are the ones with a pointed apex.

Welcome
As I proceed into my mid-life adventures, of travel and relocation, I intend to regularly post updates of my activities.

I also intend to post reminiscences, ruminations and editorial commentary on whatever subject is currently abrading a lesion under my saddle.

Header Photo
The header photo is of Cuban children bouncing on a tree limb I encountered in 2004 while hiking up the mountain to visit Los Aquaticos, folks living in an area of the mountains overlooking the Vinales Valley accessible only on foot or horseback. Los Aquaticos believe the water in their community is special, bath multiple times per day in the water and dry themselves in the mountain air.
