In this April 5, 2016 photo, Pedro Alejandro Lopez, 83, left, stands at the entrance of his home, with his blind son Pedro, on Calle Habana in Old Havana, Cuba. Lopez has never spoken to the tourists who now walk through his street, nor has he ever dined at the new Habana 61 restaurant on his street, where grilled lobster with tropical fruit sauce would cost his entire monthly pension. Nonetheless, he's enjoying watching the transformation happening on his street. "Before we had a monotonous life," he said. "Now theres's more activity" (AP Photo/Desmond Boylan)
