Jibacoa Tennis Oct/Nov 2004

OCTOBER FEST.....Cuban Style !!

Heading back to Cuba in October meant one thing......OCTOBER FEST or what some of the tourist called in "DRINK FEST".

If you want to party 24/7, then going to Jibacoa during October Fest is the place !!!. The place was PACKED (450+), and it wasn't quiet.

Ok, lets start with the TENNIS. There were lots of tennis players in the 2 weeks I was teaching. I even had beginners give it a try. The "Tennis Tournament Day" was on Thursday and we had 15+ players. We promoted the event from Monday to Wednesday, so it was great to see all those people showing up.

Now, lets talk about "OKTOBER FEST"....that's what it reads on our staff t-shirts. This is the only time of the year that JIBACOA has outdoor beer tents. The bonus of the "BEER TENTS" is that they have BOTTLED BEER & CANS....cold in ice and you don't need cups or large mugs.

The best part of OKTOBER FEST were the activities. Here were the top 3:

1) Drinking Contest (female & Male)


2) Pouring a Drink Blind Contest (Female & Male)

3) Can Pyramid Contest (Female & Male)



Oktober Fest ran from Thursday to Sunday...the last 2 weekends in October.


I could go on and on, but like I've said in my other Jibacoa posts......Pictures say it all.


Here are some pictures ......
