Last of the "billboards"
These two signs were on the walls of a store and of a restaurant at one of our rest stops. The "Viva Cuba" sign was on the wall of the shop at Hato de Jicarita in Matanzas province near Jagüey Grande. The other sign was on the wall of the cafe at the same stop. As we drove along, almost anywhere, we saw what appeared to be hand-written signs that said the equivalent of "Viva Fidel!" or "Viva la revolucion!" These signs were stuck on fenceposts, or on front doors, or on a tree in a garden. It was not clear to me if individual people made the signs out of political enthusiasm or if someone gave them the signs and asked/told them to display them. I can tell you with certainty that there were such signs everywhere we went.
