Next, visit the Museum of the Revolution in the Old Presidential Palace and learn about the famous guerrilla war waged against the hated dictator Batista. This is the story of Fidel Castro, and the courageous Che Guevara. Sleep in Havana. Dream about President Kennedy, the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. You're on the spot, where it all happened, some 40 years ago.
Lunch is provided, under a palm tree.
Free time this evening. Take in a show, a cultural event, a disco, or a ball game. Today, there's a visit to the Literacy Museum, housed in a former Baptista military base which was converted after the revolution into a School City for kids from kindergarten through high school. In the early 1960s, hundreds of these kids aged 11 to 24 joined a campaign to teach everyone in Cuba to read and write, going to live in poor neighborhoods and with peasants in the countryside for months at a time. It was sometimes dangerous, as humorless counter-revolutionary bandits were roaming the hills.
