Day 5 in Cuba
Sunday was a day-long trip out of the city to Las Terrazas, almost 2 hours west of Habana. This is an area set aside as an eco-community with UNESCO connections. We had some exquisite local coffee, a tour of an old coffee plantation and mill, lunch at a Las Terrazas restaurant and time to swim in a nearby river.
Upon return to Habana Vieja, we had an informal class at the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel. Students were free after that and many went to the Prado y Neptuno Restaurant across the street to watch the sad Patriots game while dining on Italian food at great low prices.
Although this is a short entry, this was a 14 hour day!

This is the one big highway in Cuba. it is sometimes used for races of horse and 2 person carriages (which are lined up on the side of the road in this photo). In the distance are spectators on the overpass. Police allow this.
