Description: Top row of images (frames 27-31) show a float during daytime Carnival parade sponsored by a local company that produced a brand of mineral water called "la Cotorra." The float featured dancing girls, as well as a large banner announcing an American company's financing of a building to be constructed in the area of Centro Habana. These images were taken during the daytime, probably early evening hours. The second to fifth rows show the Minoffs enjoying poolside comforts at the Hotel Capri while on their honeymoon in Havana. Frames 5-6 of the bottom row show the Minoffs at a hotel pool in Varadero beach. For more images of the Minoffs, see Prints 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 30, 31, 37, 41, 42 and 94.
