They didn't make it back home. I was disappointed. I loved them!

Radio station

This looked like an awesome house with a HUGE Cuban flag blowing in the wind. Our guide said it's now a radio station.

Dance!

Their last number was a dance, kind of conga line, including masks.

Flute concert

Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to the concert part of the tour. First, it was scheduled to be a children's choir but then it was rescheduled to the flutes. They were so GOOD! We had a good time!

Concert venue

Our last stop on the tour was a flute concert. This was their outdoor venue.

Our Cuba "boarding passes"

They gave us these old airline boarding passes when we went through immigration to get in to Cienfuegos. We had to return them to immigration to leave.

Palacio de Valle

Really cool-looking next door to Hotel Jagua.

Christmas tree!

It was so warm it was hard to think it's Christmas season. There also weren't many Christmas decorations around Cuba. Our guide told us the government, until Fidel Castro's last year, discouraged religion and not many people there celebrate Christmas. In Fidel Castro's last few years, he turned more to religion and the country is following a bit.

Yacht Club

Our guide said this used to be known as "Jack's Club." A lot of the older people on the bus said, "Oooh!" but we didn't figure out what that was. I'm assuming JFK?

Port terminal

When I looked this building up it said it was the port terminal. It's not the cruise terminal.

Maybe the reason for the horse cart sign earlier?

Art vendors

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.

Medici Lion

Outside the Cathedral de la Purisma Concepción. These copies of the original Medici Lions were built in 1833–69.

Classic cars!

There were WAY less classic cars in Cienfuegos than in Havana. It kind of reinforced what our guide said, that they're for the tourists. I still liked them.

The Cathedral was closed so, unfortunately, we couldn't go inside.

During the Cuban Revolution, the city saw an uprising against Fulgencio Batista and was bombed in retaliation on September 5, 1957.

UFOs?

I thought these looked like UFOs so I took a pic. Then someone on the bus hilariously asked what they're used for. I guess the shape threw them off and they couldn't tell they're water towers.

I am amused by interesting signs. Also, more propaganda on the building in the background!
