Our next stop was Trinidad (a town in the province of sancti spiritus, central cuba). 

We got us a taxi which would take us 4 hours to reach town.  I don’t have many exciting stories about the car ride there, but I managed to get some pictures as we passed through Old Havana on the way.  A lot of them were taken from inside the car so excuse their blurriness. 

So 4 hours and few pit stops later, we arrived in Trinidad - the complete opposite of the vibrant city that was Havana. You should have seen our faces as we rolled into the town and witnessed the unpaved dirt roads, roosters running amuck, and houses so close together you could arm wrestle with your neighbor. Not only were we not in Kansas anymore, we were now in the country honey and what felt like the “middle-of-nowhere.” Here were 5 city girls unbeknownst to how we were going to manage in this rural setting for 3 whole days. My phone didn’t even have service when we first got there, Jesus take the wheel! (or in this case, take the horse’s reins). 

As the saying goes, though: NEVER EVER judge a book by it’s cover. Our stay in Trinidad would be the BEST and most fulfilling out of all our airbnb experiences in Cuba and I’m the most grateful that we all got to face it…together. 

More fun details on Trinidad in future posts…
