Behind Stefan and me is the José Martí Memorial, in Plaza de la Revolución.
José Martí was a national hero
and this monument was build to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.
The memorial consists of a 109m tower
representing a five-pointed star and is build of grey marble.
At the foot stands a huge statue of José Martí in a meditative pose.

I surprised Stefan reciting this poem:

" Cultivo una rosa blanca
En julio como en enero,
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca.
Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo,
Cardo ni ortiga cultivo,
Cultivo una rosa blanca."

Eh, I am small in size, but I possess a little education!
