                                C

       A week in the sun relaxing in the beautiful March weather of Varadero,Cuba is a fantastic vacation for anyone. Luckily,my wife,two friends and I had the chance last year.

       To see Cuba,you have to talk to the Cubans. Our friends met us at the airport even at 1 :00 a. m. ? which started our trip on a positive note. After a few days at the hotel,we got to know a local tour guide,Victor.

       The trip started off on a sunny morning. Our return trip would be along the coastline from Havana,but our trip to Havana would be through the countryside and the small towns. This trip was designed for us to visit the Cuban countryside.

       At first Victor brought us to Revolutionary Square,where Fidel Castro made his yearly speech praising the ideas of the revolution (革命) .

       Our second stop was the Bocoy Rum Factory. We walked through and learned how 5 ,000 bottles of rum are produced each day. The smell of rum,and the huge barrels (大桶) were interesting.

       The final stop was the market in Old Havana. Here my wife and I went away from our friends and we toured through this large shopping centre. From store to store we saw so many items (商品) that all had a clear Cuban feel to them. We bought a picture and some special local things,and then we took off to meet up with Victor.
