Old Havana Playground, Havana, Cuba, 1998

Photo: Old Havana Playground
"Amid the construction, the new museums, and the old monuments, Old Havana remains a living community. Local kids still head off for school, take shortcuts through restored plazas, and cavort in the playgrounds until it is time to head home for dinner."

—From the National Geographic book Cuba, 1999
