the optimist

hitch-hiking is problematic in Cuba as there are so few cars outside of Havana...on the Autopista, the main east-west highway, there is plenty of time to admire the countryside if you are waiting for a ride

I was here for about 20 minutes during a break on the bus ride to Trinidad...no cars passed by in that time

If he does get a ride he wont have to worry about getting stuck in a traffic jam. It sure looks peaceful out there! V

Memorable. The title is superb. Time have another sense in Cuba. The hole day to visit the doctor is pretty common. We took many people in the car making "botella/bottle " as they use to say. In Spain we say to make "dedo/finger". V

Very interesting. No markings on the road at all, and no guard rails etc. The state of the roads remind me of East Germany just after the Wall came down. A beautiful vista though and the sky looks beautiful. I like this image a lot with the optimist standing there. Brings back memories when I used to hitch hike. "V"
