It doesn't show how big the tree really was.

Cuba's version
On the way back, Jean told us the Cuban version of the USS Maine incident. He said The U.S. blew up the Maine in order to disrupt the Cuban revolt against Spain.

On the bus!
Bill was VERY happy after we finished off all of those drinks, plus the bottle.

Missiles and jets
It looked really cool. I was kinda bummed we couldn't get out for a couple of minutes.

Bay of Pigs
There were planes and missiles on display from the Bay of Pigs. Of course, everything was on the other side of the bus. Our guide told us Cuba's version of the Bay of Pigs. How Kennedy "lost at the Bay of Pigs and was embarassed" in the eyes of the world. It was interesting hearing their point of view. He also told us how Castro was shut out by Russia in the negotiations after the Bay of Pigs. Castro took it as an insult and Cuba-Russian relations suffered.

Best of Havana
We were on the "Best of Havana" tour. It was 8 hours long and covered our person-to-person requirements! Our guide was named Osmin and the driver was Eri.

Neat old cemetery
Driving to our next stop we spotted this neat old cemetery.

One last stop
Back on the bus. One more stop to go!

Circo Dallas
Back on the bus! Heading to our next stop. We spotted a travelling circus. We thought it was funny it was named Circo Dallas.

Flea market
We can check out the flea market while we're waiting fro the bus.

Toboggans and cars
When we backed up there was a toboggan coming right for us with three cars behind it!

Traffic jam
The roads are very narrow. We turned the corner and we were face-to-face with another bus. We had to back up.
