They were now wrapping up their adventure later in the day and flying back to their home country. They had celebrated Christmas in Costa Rica with their twin young adults who had flown in for the event. As they were impressed by our cycling trip, we were also very impressed by their volunteering work they had done in Guatemala that involved building a house for a family. Before leaving our casa for a walking exploration, we had a rather confusing internet session at our casa. We discovered that one of our 5 hours internet card had been depleted rather mysteriously over night. Our internet saga continued with Jenny being unable to clearly logout of her internet account. In our simplistic mind, we opted to turn off the casa\u2019s router. As much as we had previously mentioned the superior features of an iPhone, we had come to realize that Android phones were best supported\/adapted to Cuba\u2019s internet infrastructure. Hence, my old Huawei Honor 5X was much more trouble free at accessing the internet than Jenny\u2019s iPhone 7S. Needless to say that Cuba is a different place! We walked along the Prado\u2019s large boulevard up to the seafront\u2019s promenade. We made our way to an Etecsa booth in order to buy more internet cards and seek help with our current internet cards which did not appear to let us access the internet anymore. The attendant managed to correct my situation but was not able to do the same with Jenny\u2019s iPhone. Along our walk, we stopped at a large open-air ice cream parlor where we opted to pay in CUC to avoid the 30-40 minutes waiting for those wanted to pay in local peso (CUP). Later in a nearby park, while I was enjoying some peso hot dogs, Jenny befriended with some Chinese students in an attempt to resolve her blocked internet access. We realized that Jenny\u2019s connection was still alive back at our casa, she regained access to the internet, unfortunately only once her internet card was depleted. Back at the casa, we agreed to be extra careful with our use of casa provided internet access. We relaxed at our casa before dropping by a pizzeria for our evening meal.<\/p>\n\n\n
