Derrumbé! Then there is a crash. Another building has collapsed. The older buildings in many of Cuba's cities are decaying as a consequence of the harsh tropical weather and lack of maintenance. There are vacant lots sprouting up all around. In Habana Vieja there is construction. There is some money from the UN, that area having been named a "World Heritage Site." The work moves slowly due to lack of materials and a lack of effort. The unfortunate truth is that most workers make less in a month, than a construction worker makes in a single day in the US. Once Cuba opens up it will take considerable time and money to restore it to the once vibrant country it was.
