原題：《加勒比海的懷念（之二）| 湯赤》
——湯赤21.11.23（笫79）
10月27日的晌午，漫步哈瓦納街市。熱情的市民，可能也算得上加勒比地區的美女？頭頂插上一大束的花，配上一條大花裙，藍白襯色的上衣顯現出墨黑的日照膚色，潔白牙映著她的自然笑臉，可揣摩她們的心情休閒、輕鬆夾帶出，無拘無束的神情坦蕩。我榮幸留影老城區的哈瓦納廣場。
童年夢中的哈瓦納，呈現出現實版有新、舊二個的城。遊客們當選逛舊城、懷舊貌。
舊城一道動態街景：五彩繽紛的老爺車……
（筆者攝於哈瓦納街頭—老爺車停車場2016.10.27曰）
老爺車在古巴隨處可見。首都哈瓦那的數量最多，那裡的老爺車也最炫酷，它們大多生產於1940年代和1950年代，其中大部分是來自美國，品牌包括龐蒂亞克、道奇、雪佛蘭、福特、別克、普利茅斯、凱迪拉克和克萊斯勒。這些保留下來的美國老爺車很多擁有絢麗的色彩、閃亮鍍鉻的外形和嶄新的油漆。這要歸功於古巴人民的聰明才智和創造力，才使得數量眾多的老爺車行駛了半個多世紀。其實，在哈瓦那可以尋找到美國汽車製造，從昨天一路走來的軌跡。
那天，我們沿著哈瓦那的海濱大道，乘上一輛老爺車，欣賞到加勒比海的微風、薩爾薩音樂、歐洲風格的裝飾藝術……哈瓦那屬於另一個古老的年代，讓人迷失在時間的歷史過去里。搞笑，從老爺車下來，在海濱大道漫步、徜徉留戀於熱帶的海岸碼頭，一貫守紀的二位「老師遊客」，誤時、並掉隊了！加勒比海的神奇風光、醉人、更迷人？！興盡忘卻歸途路…...
古巴的雪茄菸，是國家的象徵。在參觀，制煙廠時，得知雪茄所以出名？是加勒比海的氣侯，適合菸葉的生長，古巴人將賣雪茄菸，一臉的驕傲！上好的雪茄菸廣告詞也趣，這是當年革命領袖，卡斯楚抽的雪茄牌子。為了表達對「領袖」的崇拜，也是童年情節，不抽菸的我足足買了二大整包雪茄，嚴重超標「遊客」攜帶規定！
Memories of the Caribbean (2)
- Tang Chi 21.11.23
Stroll through Havana street market on the afternoon of October 27. Enthusiastic citizens, perhaps the belle of the Caribbean? The top of the head inserts the flower of a big bundle, deserve to go up a big flower skirt, the jacket of blue white line color shows the sunshine color of black skin, white tooth reflects her natural smile face, can figure out their mood is recreational, relaxed entrain to take, unrestrained expression is frank. It's my honor to take photos of Havana Square in the old town.
The childhood dream of Havana presents a real version of the old and new city. Tourists are chosen to visit the old city and cherish the old appearance.
And the old city a dynamic street scene: colorful classic car ......
(Taken by the author on The Street of Havana, a classic Car parking lot, October 27, 2016)
Vintage cars are a common sight in Cuba. The capital, Havana, has the largest number of them, and it has the coolest vintage cars. Most of them were made in the 1940s and 1950s, most of them from the United States, under brands like Pontiac, Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford, Buick, Plymouth, Cadillac and Chrysler. Many of these surviving Vintage American cars have brilliant colors, shiny chrome finishes and fresh paint. It is thanks to the ingenuity and creativity of the Cuban people that so many old cars have kept running for more than half a century. In fact, you can find the history of American car manufacturing in Havana, all the way back to yesterday.
That day, we took a ride in a vintage car along Havana's promenade to enjoy Caribbean breezes, salsa music, European-style art Deco... Havana belongs to another ancient age, and one is lost in the historical past of time. Funny, from the classic car down, strolling in the seaside boulevard, wandering in the tropical coastal pier, always keep discipline of the two "teacher tourists", missed the time, and left behind! Magical Caribbean scenery, intoxicating, more charming? ! Forget the way home......
The Cuban cigar is the national symbol. When you visit a tobacco factory, you learn that cigars are famous? Caribbean climate, good for tobacco, Cubans will sell cigars, a proud face! Good cigar advertising slogan, this is the revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro smoked cigar brand. In order to express the worship of the "leader", which is also the plot of my childhood, I bought two whole packs of cigars as a non-smoker, seriously exceeding the "tourist" carrying regulations!
