Tom and I take a ride on the Hershey Train. This isn't a tourist thing, but a local train that travels between Matanzas and Havana. We're going part way,hoping to catch a return train as somewhere along the route.

 
We don't exactly blend

 
the train takes us through the Yumuri Valley and right into the heart of rural Cuba.

 
 

 
There are many stops along the way, at regular stations, crossroads and impromptu. Also, apparently, for livestock on the track.
