Today we drove to a serene beach about an hour away from Vinales. Aside from an intense sun, the beach was flawless with beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. Some of us tried to rent paddle boats to explore the coast while others swam and talked with the locals. We had a quick yet delicious bagged lunch with state-sponsored cola. After we left the beach, we returned to our individual casas particulares in Vinales. For dinner, we went to another tobacco and organic farm/paladar where we enjoyed a family style meal while a veritable menagerie clucked, barked, and meowed around us. There were early three times as many animals as people near our table. During dinner, a group of musicians played classic Cuban music. Once we finished eating, our saxophone players performed three songs, including Brittany Spears' "Toxic." After dinner, we were diven time to spend out last night with our host families. Packing for our journey to Havana did not toake too long and the rest of the night was spend in the town plaza dancing and talking to locals, or relaxing in our rooms. Tomorrow morning we say goodbye to our host families and travel to Havana.
