A resident of the province of Matanzas criticized the poor condition of the pavement on his street this Tuesday, comparing the water-filled potholes to swimming pools.
Enelio Suárez posted a picture on Facebook of his street, filled with puddles, stating: “I’m not trying to boast, but I live in a neighborhood where all the houses have pools.”
Although the photograph illustrates the poor condition of that street in the province of Matanzas and highlights a real danger for pedestrians and drivers, the comments section is equally intriguing.
Regla González stated, "I don't think it will make many people envious because in most neighborhoods we have swimming pools, and in many cases, they are Olympic-sized."
Nancy Grasso González highlighted the shape: “How round they are! Those from the alley on Tenaza Street are rectangular, and they have been there for years and years.”
"Well, my friend, you really do have a residential neighborhood," expressed Lazarita Quintero Yzquierdo.
Luis Roberto Gómez Alarcón said, "Cuba is full of privileged people," implying that the entire country has streets like this one, riddled with potholes.
Last April, a pothole in Havana turned into a pool where teenagers and children from Cerro were swimming.
"When you're feeling down, remember that this started as a small pothole in Cerro, and today it has become the ‘Bachecitos del Futuro’ Recreation Center for the enjoyment of the little ones during their break," LaSai Dela Vida humorously stated on Facebook.
In the same Havana municipality, some neighbors planted two banana plants in a huge pothole that was in the middle of the street.
"Welcome to the jungle!" expressed Yulier Rodríguez, who shared a photo and a video of the curious event on his Facebook wall.
