On to Trinidad

---

On Thursday, 12/8, we left Matanzas. Wendy and Yolanda from the Coro Provincial, came to see us off. It was very moving.

We then drove to Sanctu Spiritus, near Trinidad, and met with another local choir, the Imago, Marlene Vega is the director. We met in a beautiful public library building. They sang first, singing some beautiful pieces. Then we sang our set and they seemed to enjoy it. Afterwards, Kent taught them a song and we all sang together. It was wonderful!

We then drover on to Trinidad, one of the oldest cities in Cuba, about to celebrate 500 years. It is a Unesco world heritage site. The streets are narrow and paved with cobblestones, apparently from the ships ballasts hundreds of years ago.

In the evening, we met at a local dance spot, la Trova, for a drink and evening of dancing.

We only spent one night in Trinidad. I was struck by how crowded with tourists it is. Nevertheless, I'm glad we got to see it.

There was a moment we thought we'd misplaced our keyboard, but luckily it was found!
