People here love to tell us that we´re going to get wet. Se van a mojar! We´ve heard it far to many times on this trip. It´s often when we´ve already been riding through a downpour for hours and the use of the future tense seems sort of ironic - we couldn´t possibly be any wetter. But sometimes it´s well in advance... so far in advance that we´ve let the sun and light clouds fool us into hanging our laudry out on our bobs to dry and keeping our cameras out at the ready. Unfortunately, they´re right more often than not and we end up fully showered before we even reach our casa at the end of the day!
Fortunately, we didn´t hear anything about getting wet over our last two days of riding (we got dumped on pretty much all day on the day we rode out of Havana and into Cuba`s westernmost province) and we could enjoy the quiet backroads, rolling farmland and impressive limestone mountains of Pinar del Rio. And get one last sunburn....

Can't wait to see how tanned you gals are. Even with the rain it sounds like you've had a fair bit of hot and burning sun!
Take care and enjoy the tailend of your trip!
