Images of the Day
course of the day: 27 km
Excellent night thanks to Valium, Nange had more difficulties because of the musical atmosphere of the restaurant just below the chamber. After having considered changing house, we decide to stay. The owners are very friendly, and we learn that their pensions are 8 and 10 euros per month! While hospitals and health care are completely free, but medicines are lacking. Excellent breakfast and we enjoy having an Internet after the place to update the blog and to hear comments. Then, a coco taxi takes us to castel del Morro, a fortress built in 1643 overlooking the entrance to the Bay of Santiago. We do the tour and find 2 beautiful French cannon fortress dating from 1755. Then, back in coconut taxi. We drive along a main shopping street to the plaza of Martes. A Phrygian cap on a pole to remember that the Cuban revolutionaries, the French Revolution was a reference, hence the adoption of the colors blue, white and red national flag. Short break at the casa and we come out after a good nap to follow again the arteries around our homes. Cuban life is organized around many places where people play chess, checkers or dominoes. Group of musicians and dancers bring the atmosphere. We'll visit the Carnival Museum, a large institution that is held annually in July. A group of dancers and trains Nange is removed to participate in their tropical dance. Then back to the cathedral and the friendly hotel bar for a cocktail. The sun sets slowly and we go to dinner at the home of delicious camarones. Then we come out towards the Place de Marte or should take place a local festival. Many people in the streets, people have to hand bottles of rum and cola local. Some wear at arm's huge cake in the colors subtle. Arrived on the spot a few couples dancing salsa. Then those are young artists, rappers and dance group. The atmosphere is festive, many children who enjoy rides, sleigh pulled by a goat, scooters and tricycles, to place towers. A young Cuban approaching us, we offer rum, then we visit a friend, or we can all find! We are right in parallel tourism! Since we refuse, he continued his approach soon from other tourists. Another speaks French, he teaches the French alliance of Santiago. Then we return slowly towards our casa. Tomorrow further explore the area with the Grand Piedra.
