Day 13 - Last Day in Cuba

After breakfast we decided to take a quick stroll in old Habana before heading to the airport.  We rode our motorcycles only with our helmets and gloves (no boots, jackets, armor)  to the center of the city to take a last leisurely look.

It was nice riding throughout the city on Sunday with nobody around and with the whole city more relaxed than normal.  Had a last peek at some great buildings, churches, archeological sites, stores, and sat down for our last cappuccinos and guayaba juices before heading to the airport.

Had one more great conversation with our taxi driver ... it is amazing to me how each person in the world is a world in itself ... full of stories, experiences, learnings, perspectives, lessons to be learned ... I am in awe.

We arrived at the airport on time, checked in, and headed to our gate as a rainstorm from hell hit Habana ... spring has arrived!  Luckily our Aeromexico plane had just landed and we were able to take off during a lull in the storm on time and with no incident. 

A good uneventful ending to another amazing motorcycle adventure!
