Cuba, Part 2: Trinidad
Trinidad! Yes, Trinidad, Cuba, not Trinidad & Tobago, which is located in a different country. Yet, Trinidad is a cute authentic city located close to the south coast of the island. Cobbestoned streets with more classic American automobiles from the fifties makes the picture more than complete. What was missing in Havana can be found…
