Jibacoa Tennis December 2003

I couldn’t wait until May 2004, so I came back December 2003.
I do have to say the weather was BRUTAL. In 14 days I saw the sun about 4 times and I would have gotten a better tan on a ski hill….hahaha.

Even with cloudy weather we still had a great time at Jibacoa.
The first week of tennis was busier than ever before.
I believe since it was cloudy most people didn’t want to stay at the beach.
It was awesome to see so many people using the courts.

On Thursday (Tennis Tournament Day) we had rain in the morning.
Now, this wasn’t so bad since rain in Cuba only last for about 20min…hahaha.
We were delayed for about 45min. This time around I only gave t-shirts out to the winners, and we had a draw for 2 bottles of rum. Other prizes included tennis ball key chains and caps.

We had more sun in week #2. The Tennis Tournament was packed with players.
Everyone had a good time. I think next time I will give out CUBAN t-shirts, I’m running out of Jibacoa t-shirts…hahaha.

There are lots of pics from this trip. My favourite is the CRAB & BALL….it took us about 25min to get that crab to stay on the ball. My 2nd pick would be my Jibacoa Christmas Card.
We used a ladder, and it took 3 takes to make the picture.

We didn’t have enough tennis balls to spell everything out. I was able to bring it all together using my picture software.

Oh, there is a picture of Alberto & Kenia (Jibacoa Tennis Pros). They are great people and love the game of tennis.
