Cuba doesn't have the sights of Egypt or Paris, but it does have an intreging group of citizens.

To the local farmer, who uses his Ox as a means of travel (they still use Ox to plough their fields and to pull wagons)

To the proud old man who had a bronze statue depicting him in his "good old days" and literally forced me to take his photo (and didn't even want, let alone ask, for money):
