Las Tunas, Cuba, New Years Pt. 2 Cuban Pig Roast

This is Pt. 2 of a video I made for some friends in Las Tunas Province in Cuba of a trip I made there for New Years 2006-2007. I had to divide it up into 4 parts to upload to YouTube.
Part 1 is just a car trip across the island from Puerto Padre to where my friends live in Tunas.
Part 2 is going to get a live pig for the feast.
Part 3 is not for the squeamish. It is the processing of the pig.
Part 4 is the cooking, the feasting and some of the fine faces of Cuba.

The whole thing was shot on a Canon S3 at various quality settings and edited up in a mix of Premiere and Movie Maker, so don't expect high art. I hope it brings back some memories of Cuba.

@gojebroz capaz en tu pais comer con amigos no es de desarrollados! pero bueno prefiero ser sub desarrollado que una persona autistica!

Yo no sabia que azar un puerco en el medio del campo,y hacer una comida criolla,rica, en compania de la familia y los amigos era subdesarrollo.Ahora resulta que cambio el significado de la palabra o quizas,que alguien se le subdesarrollo,el cerebro.Pero anyway estas son las mejores fiestas,al aire puro,a lo natural en el campo compartiendo todo el mundo.

I hope your family was OK after the hurricanes and flooding in the fall. A very tough year. One of my favorite towns is Gibara in Holguin, and I know it was devastated.

The video drive starts in Puerto Padre but the pig is in Sitio Viejo, near Amancio Rodriguez.
