Metro
Bus transportation Cuban style. These are nicknamed camels because of the shape of the trailer.

University of Havana
The site of many demonstrations around the time of the revolution.

Capitalio Building
This is very similar to the US Capital building in Washington DC.

around Havana
I doubt this looked much different in 1960!

shop
This is a typical shop. As they are all government owned, there is no advertising.

The Hershey Train
The Hershey railroad was built by the Hersey Chocolate company to transport workers and products from the sugar mills. It is the only electric train in Cuba.

US Special Interest Building
The US Special Interest Building is dwarfed by the 50 black flags that commerate the people lost in the Cuban Airline terrorist attack. The US will not extrodite the suspect which resides in the US.

propoganda
Im told the sign translates to something like: "The Barbarians! (refering to the USA) They released a terrorist." It refers to a terrorist which blew up a Cuban aeroplane in the 1970's. He now lives in the America who refuse to extradite him to Venezuela, where the attack was planed. Che Guevara is pictured on the building behind.

propaganda
Uncle Sam is standing on one island growling at Cuba. The Cuban is holding a machine gun and smiling as he yells to Uncle Sam "Imperialists, we are not afraid".

propoganda
George Bush + ??? = Hitler.
