In this Thursday, January 29, 2015 photo, a flower bunch sits on the truck of a 1957 Buick, rented for the day by private flower vendor Yaima Gonzalez Matos, who pays the owner of the car about $20 a day including gas to transport her flowers to Havana. Gonzalez is hopeful that the recent warming of relations with the U.S. will improve Cuba's economy, and more money will trickle down to her business. She dreams of one day having a business big enough to let her buy a truck and sign a supply contract with a hotel. (Photo by Ramon Espinosa/AP Photo)
