Cubans can be often seen on the streets, in front of their homes, doing something, or just sitting there, watching.
In their faces and their body movement you can feel the peace and relaxation. Even though Cuba is very poor, the Cubans are very joyful and positive people.
Cubans are a very social and friendly people and are very easy to start a conversation with.
I don't know if anything changed, but in 2005 (from when these photos were taken) Cubans were forbidden to communicate with strangers.
In the middle of a pleasant conversation with a local resident, an official could approach and ask the resident for his documents.
In such a situation, tourists are not in an offence, but the locals could be fined.
