One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Cuba, a friend of mine and I had decided to visit Vinales west of Havana. The lady we were staying with in Havana had told us we should leave our important things with her while we were visiting the city in case of pickpocket and that we could leave our suitcase while we went to Vinales so we only grabbed essentials for one night and headed out to Vinales with a local bus. Once in Vinales we went to the casa we had booked and the lady asked for our passport to register us with authorities but we had no clue she needed it and had only brought a photocopy of it. She told us we couldn't stay with her without the official documents so we had to find somebody who would. Every other renters refused one after the other because they could lose their license....we were ready to camp in a garden or spend the night at the club but in the end a man helped us. We felt like we were being smuggled ...hahaha...we stayed with him for dinner and in the heart of the night he took us to his 80 year old aunt who had a spare bed. That sweet old lady even offered us night gowns thinking we had nothing. She was adorable and not afraid of the police. She said they wouldn't put an 80 year old woman in jail. We felt bad and a little afraid for her but her nephew came to pick us up super early to make sure nobody saw us and took us back to his place for breakfast. He spent the day with us showing us the mogotes. It was great. It's often in desperate times you meet the nicest people.
