This sign translates as, "Cuba Yes!!! 58 years of the revolution. Revolution is fighting for our dreams of justice for Cuba and for the world, which is the foundation of our patriotism, our socialism and our internationalism." It is unusual to see a picture of Fidel Castro in Cuba. They are rare in Havana, and only a few across the countryside. Che Guevara's Corda photo image is everywhere.
Fidel certainly changed things for ever. And you have showed a number of excellent photos of parts of Cuba that the tourist does not normally see.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andy. We spent four days in Havana, and then traveled to Trinidad, a 500 year old town on Cuba's south coast.
Delete58 years and what has it gotten Cuba? Not a whole lot it would seem.
ReplyDeletei didn't know you were in cuba! what a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting country. Let's see how things develop over the next few years.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised there are so few pics of him!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for some photos showing the beautiful town of Trinidad. I visited Cuba in 2007, and I'm enjoying your great series of photos!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting place.
ReplyDeleteI like this, it brings back great memories. I loved Cuba, hop;e to return!
ReplyDeleteinteresting about the pictures
ReplyDeleteI think Cuba hangs in the balance of suddenly being modernized because of the change in US policy and hanging onto its cultural pace and rich history of which it is most proud.
ReplyDeleteThat is odd. I wonder if there were more images of Fidel when he was in power.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. Fidel did like having his picture on billboards, but was happy to have Che's iconic picture symbolize the Revolution.
DeleteCuba is a dream.
ReplyDeleteFrankly My Dear
That's not exactly the kind of sign that you can take in at a glance! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSo many people from Canada have gone to Cuba but not seen anything of the country beyond the resorts. Your posts have been interesting
