Revolution Square. Osmin is telling us about the revolution and FIdel Castro. Revolution Square is used for large gatherings. It's where Castro would speak, When the Pope came to Cuba, this is where he held Mass. It's also where Obama came when he visited Cuba.

Sad we just drove down this street. it was really cool! I would have loved to walk it.
True to our history. Instead of a lot of product advertisements there are billboards and signs with revolutionary propaganda. With the bus driving I tried to take pictures when I saw it but I missed some.
They had a lot of cool buildings.

Even if they were for tourists, we still took a ton of pictures of the cars. Some were restored pretty nicely, some looked good from afar but if you got close you could see it was kinda duck taped together and had all kinds of parts that porbably shouldn't be in a car.
Our tour guide told us that the classic cars were for the tourists only. Not a lot of people owned classic cars, they own Russian and Japanese cars. The classic cars had been rusting in most people's yards until they figured out the tourists liked them. Interesting.
It's part of the Museum of the Revolution. It has the Granma inside. THe Granma is the boat that brought Fidel Castro and 81 other fighters of the revolution from Mexico to Cuba.

It's in front of the Museum of the Revolution. I just liked the tank seemingly in the middle of town.
A lot of pictures from today are going to be taken from the bus. We covered a lot in 8 hours. We did get out a few times.
