On the recommendation of his Cuban medical team of specialists, President Granger toured Old Havana and its environs and had a look at the Capitol Building, the new hotels that are being constructed, Plaza de la Revolucion and several places of interest.

In Old Havana, President Granger did a walkabout in and around the Craft Market on the waterfront and saw Cuban craft and paintings on full display. The President also visited the Guyana Embassy in Miramar and met with staff members who were on location, including Millicent Rose, Financial Attaché; and Dr. Melissa Corlette-Sengwe, Student Affairs Attaché at the embassy.

Later, the President and First Lady, Sandra Granger, had lunch at the famous La Forest Restaurant before returning to his protocol house.

The President’s decision to reduce his workload, his office earlier revealed, was “consistent with advice from his team of specialist doctors at the Centro de Investigaciones Medico Quirugicas (CIMEQ) in Havana, Cuba”.
