travel fun: trinidad, cuba

day two, part two
warning: tons of photos. trinidad is gorgeous!

 the cuban landscape enroute to trinidad was beautiful. it was a combination of desert, lush green landscape, and ocean

 and don't forget the mountains. who knew that cuba had mountains?

 the ocean looked so tempting! I totally could have taken a dip

 a nice view of the mountains in the distance

 we made it to trinidad. it is a stunning city! i totally love the beautiful bright colors.

the cuban people are artistic and it shows everywhere you go

there are a lot of pics of scenes of trinidad. i wanted to remember everything!

 
a lot of their transportation is through horse-drawn carriage or cart. i felt bad for the horses. they work so hard!

 that is a dog! sleeping on the roof of that house! you see the craziest things in cuba!

 the streets of cuba are clean!

 streets of trinidad

 i love the color. it makes me so happy

the doors of trinidad, cuba are the best!

 i can't believe that in all my pics the streets are basically empty. pure luck for me.

the architecture here is stunning

a ford fairlane. #classiccarsofcuba

 the city streets have old cannons marking them. you can see one next to the car and on the far right. they are found throughout cuba.

this is where we ate lunch. it was delicious. i had shrimp. others had lobster and chicken. we had the best food while in cuba.

 view of plaza mayor with the church of the holy trinity on the right and the statue on the stairs. this statue is referred to as living art. that statue is a person. if i had not been told that, i don't think i would have known. he was so still. plus it was so hot and he was in all those clothes.

 the tower at the convent of st francis of assisi in trinidad, cuba
