Day 3 - Visiting Santiago de Cuba: December 13th 2016







Waiting for a fantastic day in Santiago de Cuba. Research work to do and lots of people to know.... But before then, let's have breakfast.



Getting enough energy for a great day...

View of Santiago de Cuba from the back left side of the Boat




The day has come. Here we go Santiago de Cuba






First time in Cuba and what a view from land to the vehicle that took all of us to this fabulous land





The buses waiting for all of us





Now in the bus on our way to get to know Santiago road, parks, monuments, historic places, restaurants, and much more.







Emblematic truck from Cuba electric company with the symbolic leader: Che Guevara





On our way to a History monument where Cuba liberated from Spain




Roads were very well pavement, so no holes as I was expecting.... Cuba started to surprise me




No that many traffic lights and people in the streets for being a Monday, traffic hours.






Machete Monument in honor to many battles against Spain




"Aqui no se rinde nadie" Here no one give up... What a art expresing Cubans courage

In this Mountain is where Cuba fought last battle against Spain






















Santiago de Cuba is very Hot, around 98 degrees, so you better be hydrated.



 





 






We now arrived at the Fort where Cuba fought many battles against pirates and Spain







Defense system in XIX
















Monument inside the fort to those who fought against Spain 









Great people to work with at TracFone. Pleasure to spend time with them in this Cuba study trip

 Club Punta Gorda: Lunch time with Live music, great service, and awesome Cuban Food


 



Live Music: Traditional Cuban songs while we were having Lunch




  


180 Degrees View from the Restaurant


 After a great Lunch, now our research journey started at the Catholic Church 









Private own barber shop owned by a 19 years old boy, started 9 months ago. This business is located in the foyer of a house under constructions. His mantra is:"I do it with Passion, so That's why I'm the best Around"






Having an original Cuban coffee with my friends






Please to meet a Santera from Cuba dressing traditional outfits




This is the oldest house in Cuba and still in good conditions





Our ship is at the end of the picture. The wall represents current Cuban government with the word "Revolucion" which means Rebolution







Back to the Ship and ready to have a nice dinner with friends
