Sunday 28 January: Riding 120 km to Manzanillo with help from the truck: It was mostly flat after the truck took us over a big hill (which Gina, Walter, Michael, and Willow rode!). We saw mostly sugar cane, some sugar refineries, bananas, and a lot of little pig farms. It was much cooler today then yesterday 80 to 85 degrees Farenheit verses 90 degrees yesterday. We had a headwind the last 10 km , but I found it very cooling. We saw a baseball game in progress with a bunch of young boys. Michael and Patty joined in for a bit. Michael got a base hit and 2 pop flys. He said the 12 year old kids were incredibly good throwers. The bat was hand carved out of a branch and very heavy. We found nice potato fritters and pizza to eat in Meda de Luna, a little town along the way. I watched Cuban TV for an hour. It's quite good. I forgot to mention in Media de Luna we found some home made root beer in a bottle and great gingerbread which we bought 8 pieces of. That root beer was incredible! I will never forget the taste of it!
