After quite an ordeal of waiting for our flight at Havana airport for
seven hours, we finally made it to Santiago de Cuba. This city of a million at
the southern tip of Cuba is something to fall in love with.

'57 Chevy Bel Air |

of the main means of transportation for Cubans, rarely for tourists |
