* Caibarién, Villa Clara, Cuba *

• Founded in 1832, Caibarién, a small town located in North Central Cuba, with distinctive 19th century architecture, has become rundown and scruffy in parts, but such a charming & interesting place to visit. Caibarién is a fishing town and the main port for the province of Villa Clara, in Cuba.

They say getting there is half the fun, but is fun an omen for the experience to come? In the airport waiting area, I heard a passenger say, “the plane looks like a flying hearse.”

Yikes.

I hope the pilot was getting more than thirty bucks a month to be responsible for so many lives.

(I’d also heard the passenger say that cuban workers only get paid thirty bucks a month - including pilots)

“No, It’s not a flying hearse,” another passenger said, “it’s the ultimate stretch limo. And we all should tip the pilot to make sure he flies it like one.”
