Cienfuegos & Trinidad- Day 6

This morning we had a tour of the Benny More Art School with performances of clarinetists, dancers and a guitar player. They were very talented students in a school that needed some major renovation.
Bus ride to Trinidad where we had a delicious lunch at a terrace top restaurant. I had my fifth meal of lobster.

Then a nice walk through the Trinidad streets and a delightful visit to a B & B Hostel. The wife, Lia, was a female version of Robin Williams with the added talent of singing. A big thanks to Tom White for asking the question that encouraged Lia into telling her hilarious British lady tourist story.

Another cobblestone stroll to the famous 25 cent CUC square where we took the touristy photo infront of the tower and building found on the coin.


We had a little shopping time - I bought a small colorful painting that later caused me to be put on the 'trying to smuggle art' LIST as we left the country. I'll probably never be allowed back into Cuba.


Bus ride back to Cienfuegos, dinner at a paladar (private restaurant) with the expected .... a welcome drink, rice and beans and the CD selling singers and musicians.
