After lunch, we drove around passed Revolution Square where the below memorial to Jose Marti the hereof the Cuban people. Everywhere we go there seems to be Che's mug somewhere. Tee shirts by the hundreds with an ugly image him on the front.
He drives to a place I call Santeria Highway. Actually, it is a small street with art work from Callejon De Hamel. However, the street is known as a place every Sunday plays lots of Rhumba music and that If anyone wants a cleansing, he/she can get shook down for any number of thousands of dollars and they clean you and tear the heads off chicken. Santeria is a molto important religion in Cuba.
José Julián Martí Pérez (January 28, 1853 – May 19, 1895) was a Cuban national hero and an important figure in Latin American literature. In his short life he was a poet, an essayist, a journalist, a revolutionary philosopher, a translator, a professor, a publisher, and a political theorist. He was also a part of the Cuban Freemasons. Through his writings and political activity, he became a symbol for Cuba's bid for independence against Spain in the 19th century, and is referred to as the "Apostle of Cuban Independence.[1]" He also fought against the threat of United States expansionism into Cuba. From adolescence, he dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty, political independence for Cuba and intellectual independence for all Spanish Americans; his death was used as a cry for Cuban independence from Spain by both the Cuban revolutionaries and those Cubans previously reluctant to start a revolt.
