turns out that Baracoa was kind of a downer. it´s been raining the entire time. last night was quite surreal in that we went to an outdoor disco on top of a hill and experienced some weather that felt like the equivalent of a tropical storm. luckily there was a thatched roof to keep us dry, but walking down the stairs at the end of the night was a bit challenging because the stairway looked more like the seven sacred pools.

did i mention that i witnessed the slaughtering of a pig_ baracoa has been indeed a memorable experience. I think i forgot to mention to that on on the way here the driver ran over two chickens which he then picked up and was going to make a soup with.
