Before the corporations move in with their steel and glass architectural monstrosities. The place will soon look like a mix of South Beach, Caymans, Disneyworld, and Dallas. Change will be quick.

I would like to go look for some 50 year old Altecs and amps and HMVs. And listen to some live Jazz.

...when Raul took power and started to implement changes. I wanted to see Cuba as it was before the dam burst. Spent 14 days in Havana and I loved every second. I would recommend the trip to anyone interested.
Remember when kids used to play in the streets in North America? Well they still do in Cuba. They're everywhere! There is a stickball game on every street. No x-boxes or playstations there and they are better for it.
Rush hour in Havana

beautiful and sensuous women.
Beyond those pleasures, there is a wealth of environmental wonders, including a spectacular bird life.
Somewhere, Ernest Hemingway is smiling.
..."Going Down to Cuba".
Nice scenery, old cars.
I'm hoping it will be like in Godfather II.
If not what's the use. BTW, just enjoyed a fat Cohiba last month, at least I have something to look forward to.

Probably a Nicaraguan Cohiba using tobacco grown from Cuban seed.
Still good though!
a gift from a fiend of mine who visits Cuba annually...

Most Excellent!!!
shit, better to fly...faster too.
was on El Camino Real in Palo Alto. Jose was a large bald Cuban gentleman who fled Cuba with his mom in the 1950s. Once in America, his mom taught him to cook and cook he could and cook he did.
He had the only Cuban eatery that I knew of in the Bay Area and since it was only 2 miles from where I lived I went there often for his out of this world cooking.
He made empanadas in several ways, chicken, beef, pork and my fav, lamb. These were the favorite on his menu, he also did Argentinean style pizzas with amazing toppings, not at all like Round Table!
On weekends there was live Latin music and the local Latin women came to eat and dance and flirt and was it ever good.....
Jose closed down when his rent doubled, I often ran into him at the various drinking joints in Palo Alto. A great conversationalist and a kind man with an eye for the ladies. He often spoke of opening a new Jose's and was making empanadas at his home and selling them thru a local grocery store.
He never did open another Jose's which was Palo Alto's loss...
If the food in Cuba is like his cooking, then it is worth going...

"If the food in Cuba is like his cooking, then it is worth going..."Unfortunately not. The food is adequate but bland (spices are hard to come by) and most travelers are not going for the food. Now the rum, music and women are a different story!

I like the street stories. The level we live at.
Headlines are mostly horseshit.
old but interesting none the less @
