Photo-Finish Friday -- Scary Stairs

Vinales, Cuba

These stairs were the way down from a mogote. We scrambled almost straight up a narrow rocky path, walked through a cave complete with sleeping bats, then out and down.
It was a good trip.

Please note, I did look up mogote as the singular of mogotes. I can't believe everything I read on The Interchoobs, though, so if someone knows the singular for a fact, please tell me.

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.
