Our tour guide was so nice. He answered every question anyone had about living in Cuba and he told us that our ship had been on the news the night before. We didn't know this was Holland's inaugural cruise to Cuba! He told us he was so nervous to giv our tour he almost cancelled!
They took us to a street where they had street vendors selling local wares. It was really good shopping because most of the wares were hand made, not typical tourist stuff.
With a bicycle cart!
We walked through Martí Park towards City Hall.
A very historic theather in downtown Cinefuegos.
This is one of my favorite photos. The classic cab in front of the new cab.
Just like in Havana, the buildings were all different colors.
