This old presidential palace in Cuba, with an interior designed by Tiffany's of New York, was completed in 1920 and served as the palace until 1959. It now houses the Museum of the Revolution.

Bullets in the walls from the revolution are left intact.
On the second floor we saw the president's office with the desk and Batista's gold telephone.

I didn't climb to the third floor which according to Patrick
was the most interesting part. Among other things there was the Granma,
the boat used by Fidel and his compatriots to return to Cuba from
Mexico.

I came back down to the ground floor and as I was going around the corner of the first floor to the Ladies Room, I passed the "Corner of
Cretins".
