A few puzzles

When I was a little girl and into early adulthood I had many puzzles, I loved them.

They were inherited by my siblings and cousins, all younger than me. As an adult I have had very few. Unfortunately, although it may seem hard to believe, buying an interesting puzzle in Cuba...is a titanic task.

It is no secret to anyone that this is a country in crisis and consequently many things go to second, third, fourth and even infinite plane. Apparently, puzzles have been relegated to the background.

A few years ago you could find some in stores or in the editions of the International Book Fair. There we always used to buy some for Olivia.

We found quite interesting themes for her according to her age. She had wooden ones in the first stage of her life, or with a few pieces, for small children. As she got older we bought more complex ones.

A small 3D collection of some places in the world, the Tower of London Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the Sydney Opera House, Notre Dame Cathedral and others that I don't remember. They were small and not of very good quality, but they were very nice and it was a great pleasure to finish them and see them done.

She always liked to build things, whether they were puzzles, blocks or legos, anything that could be put together was of interest to her. It's a shame that we have lost the photos from that stage.

Those puzzles perished in her battle against time and many others ended up like mine, in the hands of cousins, all younger than her.

To date, only a few have arrived. I have found them after a search in the immense clutter of our garage, with the purpose of showing them here in this initiative proposed by Mipiano.

Some have lost their original case, but retain all their pieces. Almost all of them are for small children.

Among the survivors are the last 2 we bought at the Book Fair just before the pandemic. One of the 200 pieces quite easy to make

The other only has 500 pieces, but many almost the same color! It gets a bit tricky. The last time we put it together was in July last year and luckily we took a picture of it. If I had decided to put it together now... I would have missed the month of the initiative.😜

This one that I will show you next I built it against the clock....1.23 minutes only 18 pieces, I am...very slow!!!! 🤣
