Getting Around in Cuba

Here begins a series of picture-posts of Cuba, since a lot of pics couldn’t load on the slow Cuban internet, part of a longer series of retrospective posts on Cuba. Maybe I will complain about America some more in the middle of this series, we’ll see. 

Coco taxis - mostly tourist fare; once we bargained with a really spunky coco taxi driver who asked us if we had caramelos
