    Not sure where these school children were heading, but they were being guided by there teacher holding hands while walking down the street. I came upon this scene several times while walking the streets of Havana and noticed dogs walking along with the children. I was pleasantly taken back at the sight of the uniforms and by the fact that colors coincided with the grade the children were in.
