Touring Trinidad

On of the older cities in Cuba, Trinidad was founded in 1514 and is now known for its well preserved streets, UNESCO funding, and tourism. Regardless of the atmosphere, Trinidad in undeniably beautiful, with rainbow buildings, cobble stone streets, and mixture of colonial architecture. 
Se Vende
Tourism is the main economy of Trinidad, and with it the typical straw hats, carved wood, vibrant art, and bottles of Havana Club. 
Estillo Destruido 
We left the city to climb the closest "mountain" (aka small hill above the city), on our way we passed by this church which Lonely Planet had described as "beyond its glory days". Behind the church, construction for a new hotel had begun, but this too must have past its prime as the only guests were 10 milk cows and weeds.
Faster than walking down 
Maddie, hot and tired of the blazing sun, chose the faster rout down the mountain... it worked great until she reached the bottom. 
Where to go when the streets end...
Now Where?
