cuba. are you noticing any yet? >> reporter: you know, one of the things, wendy, that you notice as soon as you get to the airport is that it seems as one professor here put it, that havana is at its capacity and really all of kcuba. they have so many people coming from europe, even americans on exchanges, the hotels trying to figure out how to get people comfortable, so they really feel like they're at a moment where they're trying to just work with what they have, but that's why you hear in that piece the local leaders saying that the infrastructure is one thing they feel like they can contribute to the cuban economy. >> and a lot of growth going to be happening there in the coming years. thank you, david. >> reporter: for sure. all right. he was hit in the head with a beer bottle and then smashed in his face with some fists and then look, look at the back of his car.
