Agua Potable

This street shot was taken in Pinar del Rio, a small city about 2 hours west of Havana. This is teh truck that distributes drinking water to the houses. I spent a day there after catching a ride with my friend's dad who had to go to a meeting in Pinar. It is a relatively small place without many travelers. I had about $1.00 worth in Cuban Pesos so I made it my mission to find food sold solely in the Cuban currency and not in dollars which is what tourists usually end up using in dollar stores. With that $1.00 I managed to get about 8-9 mini bananas, a cheesy pizza, two chocolate popsicles, and two blisters in my feet from all the walking and heat. April '06
