Cuba – As part of their tour of Old Havana, the Obamas arrived at the Havana Cathedral in a heavy downpour, all carrying black umbrellas. First lady Michelle Obama held her mother’s hand as they walked gingerly on the slippery wet stones in the square in front of the cathedral.

A few hundred people who had gathered in the square erupted in applause and shouted President Barack Obama’s name as the first family stepped forward. The president spent a few minutes greeting some people in the crowd before the family entered the cathedral.
