Antonio's 1951 Chevy made it to Santiago!

At 45 years old, Antonio our taxi driver had never been to Santiago de Cuba! And because the two Gringos insisted we make a road trip to Santiago, Antonio had an excuse to go. I have to say Antonio was just as excited as us to make it to Santiago. For one, he got to say goodbye to a hero of his, Fidel Castro. Another reason, he quickly realized his 1951 Chevy had no business on the roads south of Santa Clara and Trinidad. Apparently, not too many people make the trip of the entire island. Plus the roads have a lot of problems. His Chevy got a serious workout driving 2000 km with us. The other interesting point was that these old time cars were mainly up in Havana. So seeing a '51 Chevy was a curiosity in Santiago. Antonio didn't feel comfortable leaving his car alone when we decided to explore the town center.
