This meant a three quarter hour stand. . "Was this a holiday week in Cuba?" I wondered. The bus, it seemed, was full of Cubans who were all talking to each other in their native tongue.

Five minutes later we were in Florida Cityâ€"a small village with five stores, We were again in a 15 mile per hour zone area with four stop streets ere we were again back on the road to the Keys. Our driver stopped at all four and again was under the legal limit. Just far too many drivers "back home" do the direct opâ€" posite! The limit is 30 or 50.
