How tall is San Juan Hill in Cuba?
I walked up San Juan Hill, just outside of Santiago de Cuba, in July of 2001. A big fan of Teddy Roosevelt, was something I just had to do while there as a " tourista. " I am estimating it to be between 200 and 250 feet high. I just walked up casually alongside my Cuban girlfriend, but of course T.R. rode his horse, with bullets whistling past his head as he led his troops. As great a hero as America has ever known.
Took me no more than 25 minutes to walk up,..but saw to monuments to TR, but still glad I did what I did. Me and T.R.,..imagine that ! ( smile )
