Photo-Finish Friday -- Life Goes On

An ordinary day in Santa Clara, Cuba.

Enlarge the photo and you'll see laundry on the second floor and a woman hanging out the wash on the top floor.
This building is across the street from one of the most sacred sites of the Revolution. It looks over the wrecked train that Che Guevara toppled to cut off supplies to the military. Castro entered Havana a few days later.
Life goes on.

Photo-Finish Friday --Doing Our Part

The official Molotov Cocktail of the Revolution.

This is on display in the toppled train at Santa Clara, Cuba.
Che Guevara stopped the train to cut off supplies to the army. Three days later Castro took over the country.
The train is still there, a sacred landmark of the revolution, and I couldn't help but be proud that Canada Dry was on the job.
