It is surprising to find something about Cuba, the Route 66 Mural City, when cruising the internet.  To see posted photos and comments that show what others think of  small town Cuba can be an eye-opener.

A recent travel blog called Top-of-the-arch by a self-described “typical woman”  wrote  “Greetings from Cuba” in a July 17 web posting.  The shots were taken on Flag Day as the American flag waved beside the Cuba 150th banners.  Photos of the mural panels on the Phillips 66 station, a road scene by a city limit sign, and a photo of the painted traffic control boxes brightened her website.

The writer promised to post more photos and write about Route 66 in Missouri.  Her site has a lot of beautiful photos and some good writing about her activities, interests, and travels. It’s funny how it is now possible to click a device and travel into another person’s world and enjoy his or her perspective.
