Official entry for the #monomad challenge hosted by @monochromes and @brumest


Hello friends, how are you all doing?
I couldn't believe that, despite living in Havana his whole life, my nephew had never ridden the ferry that crosses the bay. It's something so common for many locals, a daily means of transportation that connects one side of the city to the other.

Hola amigos, ¿cómo están?
No podía creer que, viviendo toda su vida en La Habana, mi sobrino nunca hubiera montado en la lancha que cruza la bahía. Y eso que para muchos habaneros es algo de lo más normal, un medio de transporte cotidiano para ir de un extremo de la ciudad al otro.

Since he's been helping me on my photography outings these days, I thought there was no better gift than letting him experience that trip for the first time. And of course, an occasion like this called for a few photos, which I'd like to share with you today.

Como estos días lo he tenido de ayudante en mis recorridos fotográficos, pensé que no había mejor regalo que llevarlo a vivir esa experiencia por primera vez. Por supuesto, una ocasión así merecía unas cuantas fotos, y hoy quiero compartirlas con ustedes.

The ferry doesn't exactly look like the classic boats that usually come to mind, but it does its job perfectly and has become part of the city's everyday scenery. It also carries a few interesting stories. In fact, years ago it was involved in a hijacking attempt bound for the United States, but that's a story for another day.

La lancha no tiene precisamente la apariencia clásica que uno imagina cuando piensa en un barco, pero cumple perfectamente su función y forma parte del paisaje cotidiano de la ciudad. Además, carga con unas cuantas historias curiosas. De hecho, hace años fue protagonista de un secuestro con destino a Estados Unidos, aunque esa es una historia para otro día.

For now, I'll leave you with some images from this little adventure with Wisin, who enjoyed every minute of the ride. As always, thank you for joining me on these journeys. I'll be back soon with more stories from the streets of Havana.

Por ahora los dejo con algunas imágenes de este pequeño paseo junto a Wisin, que disfrutó cada minuto del recorrido. Gracias, como siempre, por acompañarme en estas aventuras. Nos vemos pronto con más historias de las calles de La Habana.
