Cuba Day 6 - Havana

Today I walked all the way from Parque Maceo where my casa particular is located, to the Plaza de la Revolucion, passing through the Havana University on the way, and caught a glimpse of Cuban education. The Revolution square is a huge space. $1 got me up to the Jose Marti memorial, where I could imagine Fidel Castro speaking to all the Cubans there. On the platform, one could see the two display of Che and Cienfuegos on the wall of the hotel. After that I continued to walk to the Necropolis Cristobal Colon, in search of Ibrahim Ferrer's grave stone. The cemetery is more expensive to get in then the Revolucion square, which is $5. There are all the famous people of Cuba buried, like presidents, war veterans..etc. Unfortunately I don't know too much about Cuban history to appreciate them, all I wanted to see was that little humble grave of Ferrer, one of the greatest voice I have ever heard. I had more plan for that day, but I felt too tired and went back to my hostel to get rest.
