Marco told us coming to Cancún and not coming to Chichén Itzá is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. It’s a new 7th Wonder of the World, he said! My only question is, does me standing next to it make me the 8th? 😏 . . #chichenitza #yucatan #mexico #7wondersoftheworld #travelnoire #weworktotravel (at Chichén-Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico)

“I'm never gonna let you close to me Even though you mean the most to me 'Cause every time I open up, it hurts So I'm never gonna get too close to you Even when I mean the most to you In case you go and leave me in the dirt.... I’m way too good at goodbyes ✌🏾” 🎶 🎼 🎵

"Soy así porque no le prendo una vela a dios y luego otra al diablo……Se la prendo al TIEMPO."... (I am the way I am because I do not light a candle for God and then one for the devil....I light it for the time.) -Salvador Gonzàlez . . González is a Cuban painter who took his work to Hamal Street in Havana to create the first public street dedicated to Afro-Cuban culture. Here locals sell custom cds to raise money for children in the community and on Sundays this street hosts a Samba festival put together by local musicians and dancers 💃🏾! . . #cuba #havana #callejondehamel #salvadorgonzalez #streetarteverywhere #streetart #afrocuban #art #urbanart #photooftheday #instagood #picoftheday #artwork #artist #urban #style #travel #street #streetphotography #graffiti #instaart #photography #instadaily #creative #artoftheday #graffitiart #color #mural (at Callejon de Hamel)

Sunset at El Malecón... "Life is tragic simply because the earth turns, and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death – ought to decide, indeed, to earn one’s death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life." -James Baldwin, Happy Birthday . . . #sky #beautiful #nature #sun #landscape #photooftheday #instagood #love #summer #travel #clouds #outdoors #water #picoftheday #beach #sea #life #happy #ocean #beauty #adventure #vacation #naturelovers #art #pretty #instadaily #light #havana #cuba #malecon (at El Malecón)

Because no photo of Havana is complete without an old 1950s automobile.... Traveling to Cuba is like taking a time machine back to the days mama told stories about, a time when food could be bought with nickels, locals say earning $35/month means middle class, and country pride as well as family values are the cornerstone of life. Here wifi only exists in zones and human interaction takes more effort than checking your phone. It's not all perfect, pollution runs high, inhaling tobacco smoke is as common as regular air and access to resources are still limited. Yet there's something refreshing about "the good ole days", and I'd challenge you to see it before the country is "all caught up". . . #adventure #travel #instatravel #travelingourplanet #travelgram #mydestination #cuba #travelbug #instatraveling #mytravelreviews #worldtravelbook #instagood #vacaciones #beautiful #photooftheday #picoftheday #vacation #travelline #explore #travelphotography #instalike #travelmemories #landscape #love #worldingram #sun #havana #car #automobile #1950s (at Havana, Cuba)
