| Hola, So here we are, in the birthplace of the Mighty Che, Castro's Obi-wan, the Americans Darth Vader, liberator of the Capitalist Enslaved and promoter of gorilla warfare everywhere. What a fantastic little city. Sitting pretty at a population of about 1 million people, this quaint place is likely the friendliest, greenest, most laid back city we have seen in South America. It really is much nicer then we had expected. It is full of some impressive monuments as well. In particular the monument to the flag with the undying flame. I would highly recommend it to the savvy traveler. I only wish we had more time. Although I am not sure if there is much to do beyond a day or two worth of visiting. Other then touring all we have done here is played pool at a local pool hall more or less. Nothing like a little down time after a few hard days of touring. Our hostel has a lot of character as well. I believe it use to be a burlesque house. There are mirrors on the walls, the roofs, even a stage with a shower and tub in the one main dorm. Usually a good tip off. Its got everything but the now absent sprawling of locoal prostitutes. But it's very clean, and very quaint, if not completely disorganized. Good to see a peeler trying to make an honest buck I say. Check out the photos and know that this town comes with the Brooks Barks seal of approval. ***still looking for good connection for photo upload!!!! ARGH!!!** |
