Lesley, we had a ton of great pics from around Havana so it was hard to choose just one. With the gorgeous weather, the amazing architecture and the colourful people there are so many great photo opportunities. We chose this pic because I think it incorporates a lot of what Cuba represents to the rest of the world. I’m just as surprised as you are that there’s no one in the picture. The whole city seems alive when you walk along its streets.

Cuba is great Spencer for a ton of reasons. Sometimes it’s hard to believe how physically close it is to the US yet how different the culture there is. With the Castros getting up there in age, who knows how long the existing political structure and the US Embargo will last. I can guarantee you that the country as it stands today will be vastly different from the country it will become once that happens. If you want to see what it’s like today I would suggest getting there sooner rather than later. 😉
