Me and my Cuban friends roasting the pig for 8+ hours in the front of our casa last New Years Eve. All of us enjoying lots of cervezas and ron too all day long, with other friends from the street dropping by for a chin-wag with the sweet aroma of that pork in the air. I'm not in the foto as I'm behind the camera.

Yordani working tirelessly to turn that pig all day long when roasting it to perfection. My job was to make sure that he always had a new ice cold cerveza beside his chair.

My best Cuban friend and go-to-guy, Maikel - my Cuban brother really - standing in our kitchen and open to the outside back terrace of our casa. That guy is like my right hand there for whatever we need. Solid friend - through and through. I don't know what I would ever do without Maikel.

The day Fidel Castro dropped by our casa here in Canada this past summer. jaja Actually, a friend here... he's originally from the DR. Uncanny resemblance though! He loves smoking my cigars too - and my HC Seleccion de Maestros rum. Good guy! His wife is our immigration lawyer for Yudith's and Delenys's PR application.

Yudith, my wife, working our Napoleon BBQ here in Canada this past summer via her TRV grilling our hamburguesas for lunch. Oje! She doesn't get a free ride - I make sure to always put her to work when she's here too. She loves it though!

Delenys, our Cuban daughter, on her 17th birthday back in May of this year in our casa in Camaguey city. She's no longer my little girl anymore - mi ninita. ** sniff ** But she's super excited to be living here in Canada with her mother and I soon. Delenys is taking English lessons now 3 days a week there in our barrio, along with her mother too, even though Yudith can currently speak better English than I can speak Spanish.

Yania, the 20 year old half-sister of Delenys again. That girl will eventually be immigrating to Spain where I've told her that she'll then have no trouble becoming a super model once she's there. In Cuba, that's impossible, of course. But Yania will have no trouble with that in Spain. I think she could become a millionaire, without a doubt.

A one-eyed Cuban friend of ours cracking open crabs in the back patio of our casa to fill a pot full of crab meat as part of our New Years Eve feast and festivities. I always contribute the pig, and the others contribute whatever they can bring. This guy is a fisherman who just got back from Playa Santa Lucia that morning with his booty from the sea to share with everyone. Yummy!

My wife, Yudith, had her birthday when I was there - she's now 36 years of age - an old woman now. jaja Note the "Birthday Girl" ribbon that I brought for her from the Dollarama.

Yordani again turning the pig on the spit early on New Year's Eve (fin de anos). Note that my wife has been busy having our front courtyard wall rebuilt much higher out front of our casa for more privacy - I like it. Still needs some paint to finish it.

View up the side of our casa - my wife had a zinc tile roof built over the entire length of our casa on one side to keep the rain off of our generator (covered) and everything else there too throughout that passageway.

Wood burning cook top where my wife cooks the food for our 4 dogs - she uses wood for that rather than using our more precious propane - that's reserved for cooking our meals and making our coffee.

Another shot of our New Year's Eve piggy just getting going - a good size. Around 100 lb. pig this time for our fiesta. It cost 4mil at the local butcher's place to have it harvested, gutted, and shaved to make it ready for the spit. My days of doing that myself are over - much easier now. 4mil CUP is nothing.

Maikel exercising his racing pigeons late afternoon before sunset each day - his Team Canada. jaja He painted that on the side of our pigeon coop up on our casa roof. That's Maikel sitting up on top of the coop - you can also see some of his pigeons racing by too. Good way to end the day with a beer and the breeze blowing up there.

Part of my haul of HC 7 year, HC Seleccion de Maestros, and cases of Cristal that we enjoyed drinking together. You can see the price tag still on one of the cases of Cristal from the local mipyme - 6960 CUP per case.

A look down inside our casa from the front door all the way to the back terrace / kitchen where we mostly hung out each day - an endless conveyor belt of friends and family visiting with us to hang out too, especially when there was no electricity. We have the generator to help with that of course.

The main pool at the Gran Hotel. Great for a game of water polo for us adults once the beers gave us enough liquid courage to get in there. That's my leg in foreground of the foto - my wife Yudith took the foto. Those pools certainly helped to keep everyone cool during those hot months in Cuba. Great fun!
