Cuba, Santa Maria Island

February 2024

 

It is an island. You look left, right, centre, and there is nobody. Except if you look under.

Centre

 

Then you look under

 

 

The best thing to do in order to survive February

 

 

...or be brave and swim to a real coral island, just about 250m into the sea

 

 

Then you eat some cactus. Sorry, I meant Prickly Pear.

 

 

Creatures I never see at home, e.g. hunting (fishing?) pelicans

 

 

This heron's footprints are larger than mine

 

 

Evil jellyfish, even when dead (?) or little

 

 

So nice to see luscious greeenery, which blossoms and smells wonderful, in the middle of February

 

 

I went alone, so the only photos of me are selfies, and the one out-of-focus self-timer. Sorry.

 

 

Remembering babyhood, epsecially on an empty beach when there are no witnessess

 

 

 

Travels of one multi-purpose item of clothing in one day: Cayo Santa Maria > Santa Clara airport > Toronto airport > home
