Yes, we are in Cuba! Mark and Sandra came up with this last minute deal that we couldn't pass up. The four of us have our own personal guide (Haley) who will be showing us the highlights of this interesting country for the next 8 days. And yes, the old American cars are as plentiful as they say. Internet is hard to come by, so you will be receiving our posts late and/or sporadically.
The main war memorial and public celebration area of Havana. You may have seen the Pope here.
Mark and Sandra looking for books at one of the many small private businesses that have cropped up as restrictions have been lifted.
A table top at the pre-revolution Hilton hotel. It is now government run and even now, over 50 years later, still shows off some of its former elegance.
We visited an amazing dance and rhythm studio called Compas. They gave us a mix of African rhythms joined with a Salsa/Flamenco dance you could only find in Cuba. Kind of like "River Dance", but with a Latin flare. Even Mick Jagger and Usher have been here to watched the show.
We have never seen a city with so many dogs. Those are name tags giving the dog's name and organization responsible for their care. These are street savvy dogs, wise to traffic. Many more wander with no tags and I assume are privately owned.
