Our last day in Cuba was the best! It started with a two hour car ride through the countryside to Vinales where we stopped at a look out in the mountains to take in the beautiful scenery. We then drove to a privately owned tobacco farm where we got to ride horses through the tobacco fields and learned a lot about the tobacco plants, the sugar canes, rum, and the coffee beans. After trying some of the local rum and cigars, we then drove to Indian Cave and took a short boat ride before stopping for lunch at an awesome little restaurant down the rode. Tracy and I had the best time seeing the countryside, learning some agriculture, meeting some more wonderful people, and making some new friends. I most definitely will visit this beautiful country again!!!  www.road-grime.com
