Overlooking Parque Central (see my note at the bottom as to why the park is lit up). The Capitolo is on the right all lit up in yellow and blue.

The hotel's rooftop swimming pool during the day. I actually laid out in the sun and got a hint of colour. I remembered my sun screen. I can't say that for everyone there.
On our first night we thought this building was vacant. We found out that two of the floors are a school and there are stores on the main floor.

On our final night we decided to have "romantic" dinner at the rooftop restaurant. However, in Parque Central, there was a large group as well as a large screen. A man's voice we could hear over the loud speaker (of course we couldn't understand what he was saying) and lots of cheering. We thought that since it was the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs, it was probably Fidel Castro's speech from 1961 (I believe). How romantic! After dinner we ventured over and found out that it was a baseball game they were playing on the large screen! A baseball game! It was the team from Havana against their arch rival from Santiago (the only two teams in Cuba) competing in their World Series. Havana lost 19-6. As I said, a "romantic" dinner.
More pictures to follow.
