Photo-Finish Friday -- Cuba from a Mogote


Mogotes can be found near Vinales, Cuba. We climbed partway up one, maybe 50m, and then went though a cave complete with bats and out the other side.

I took this while taking a quick rest during the nearly straight up climb.
Among the crops grown around there are tobacco and sweet potatoes.

The Cuban Newman

We were hiking along a field of sweet potatoes toward some Mogotes at Vinales, Cuba, when we found this gentleman.
Our guide introduced us to the local "Paul Newman" and we spent a few minutes with him, staring into his blue eyes.
Yes, the resemblance is there, but I assured this man he was much better looking.
