Matanzas

September 2, 2005 at 1:47 pm | In Matanzas |

I´m writing this from the port city of Matanzas, located between Havana and the tourist mecca of Varadero.

It´s a bit of a depressing place, with lots of oil tankers moving in and out, clouds of smog from the big factories on the bay, and too many tired-looking people.

The casa I´m staying in is very nice, however, and the abuela who owns it is very sweet.

I can´t upload photos from here right now, but I will try to soon.

I´m here until Monday morning then I´m off to the small town of Colón, en route to Santa Clara.
