More CUBA!

1. One thing that was really interesting about Cuba is that it's a poor country that doesn't know it's poor.  They have made a living out of making do with what they have, and finding a way to make something out of nothing, or little to nothing.  "Ingenuity" is their middle name.

   Since 1994 Cuba has had two currencies, one pegged to the US dollar and the other worth only a fraction of that. The more valuable convertible peso (CUC) was reserved for use in the tourism sector and foreign trade.Oct 22, 2013
   
   

   

   The two currency economy was in full display when we saw hundreds of people waiting
   in line to buy ice cream on our first day in the city.  It was cheaper to buy on this day,
   using the currency reserves for locals.

   I don't think the local folks have any idea how unique this is to see these amazing old cars.
