Day 21 - Sullen Ride

After leaving the Necroplis Cristabol Colon graveyard we soon realized we were too far out of the city for an available taxi.  A driver noticed our delemma and offered a ride. 

He told us that when the Pope came to visit Cuba, he was "hired" to paint a religious fresco in a public building.  He became somewhat famous for it, since it was so beautiful.  Unfortunately, right after the Pope left, Castro had it painted over.  Our driver was hoping it would remain, after he had put so much work and love in his creation.
