Friday Fun Link – How Rural Cuba Celebrates New Year’s Eve

This is very different experience to what we had a week ago in an all-inclusive resort targeted at tourists. (Warning: Some may find the photos in the link disturbing. Others may find them delicious!) 😉 Actually, maybe not that different…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Star Wars Christmas (sometime in the early 1980’s) & Friday Fun Link – “The Force Awakens” Random Thoughts
