| On the road from Matanzas to
Santa Clara, this sign marks the entrance to a sugar mill named after the
foremost founding father of... the United States! How ironic, but I suppose
a revolutionary hero is a revolutionary hero in Cuba. In all seriousness,
Cubans have a great regard for many things American and, in some ways,
see themselves as culturally tied to the United States. |

Bridge. The other side is the Yumurí Valley, a lush sugar-growing
area just outside of Matanzas. |
