From the palace-museum, we sauntered to the next-door cathedral, directly opposite the
Von Humboldt Museum of Science.  Inside, we stood for awhile admiring its hand-carved
wooden alter then strolled past the Convent of San Francisco to La Canchánchara - noted
for a typical Cuban drink which is a mixture of rum or wine with honey and lime juice.  
After sampling this somewhat different country beverage, also called Canchánchara, we
drove to Taller Alfarero, a large ceramics workshop where traditional techniques are still
used.   After touring the workshop where a pottery artisan was busy at work we left this
city that lives in the past.
On our return journey, I reflected about our trip.  The scenic countryside, beautiful
Cienfuegos and especially the museum-town of Trinidad were not to leave me until we
were back, very late that evening we were abed, in our comfortable hotel.
