I Wait, You Wait, We All Wait for Ice Cream!

The longest line ups that we've seen are outside of the "Creamerias" in the cities. We are quickly catching on to this trend. The menu is outside, well back from the entrance of the place. A server takes your order, you pay, get your little hand written receipt and begin your wait. Sometimes as people leave, the next guests are invited in and other times there are several empty tables and it seems that new guests are allowed in only at the server's will.

The wait is worth it - Oh what a treat!! Delicous, multi flavoured dishes of ice cream are brought out with stacks of sweet little cookies and cakes for mixin' in. Where we have gone wrong is ordering one dish per person... We laugh as we look around and realize that the locals often have 4-5 stacked dishes PER PERSON! And, at 5 cents each, this is completly acceptable. Out latest plan is to choose what we want and then mulitply by three! mmmm... I love cuba! Oh, and don't worry, we will never be too full; Vanessa promises that everyone has a seperate ice cream stomach. :)

Sounds like a very popular treat.
Did Vanessa also tell you ice cream is a food group in itself and completely healthy?
Enjoy and keep that ice cream stomach full.
