Heading for Havana

It's 10:45pm and we are getting ready to head to the airport for   Our trip to Havana. The flight leaves at 2am and gets us to Havana around 10:30 am with a stop in Panama City. Tomorrow night we will spend a night in a converted monastery in old Havana. The rooms are the original monks cells. This should be interesting. 

We left Samaipata this morning around 11:30 and made a stop at a waterfall to take a few photos. Sorry nothing to post because I used my camera instead of the iPod. We missed the festival in Samaipata by hours. It started this afternoon. There was a steady stream of traffic into Samaipata and the neighbouring villages. It was like a long weekend back home with people escaping the city. We passed a couple of camp grounds that were packed with tents, not an rv to b seen. People were coming by the truck load literally. There would be a 10 ton truck like you would carry animals or produce in and it would be full of people standing in the back along with their luggage and mattresses. Yes, that's right,  mattresses.  They must just put them on the ground and crash. The festival goes on until Tuesday.  Most people have Monday and Tuesday off. There are festivals all over Bolivia right now.
