In Search of a Room in Vinales

The casa particular in Vinales I had written down was difficult to find, and when we did locate it, full.  Frank was ready for the journey to be over and got snippy with us, unwilling to drive us around to find new accommodations.  On a gravel road off the main street we unloaded our bags and were at the mercy of a local who said he had a cousin with a vacant casa.  Lila and Yuki, mother and daughter, were the light at the end of the tunnel.  Behind Lila's house was a recently built petite casa with a spectacular rooftop view.  Lila cooked us a delicious dinner and we went into town for live music and salsa dancing.  In Havana we were undecided how long we'd stay in Vinales, but after tonight we committed to three more evenings in this sleepy, verdant valley.
