One of the most interesting places I've been
and it has been on the top of my bucket list for many years
was Cuba.
I just recently returned from Cuba and
what a great experience it was.
The Cuban society is very very much in the art world, be it music
art or dance.
The city is surrounded by art work we went into a neighborhood where
the bus stops and the homes the front of the homes looked
Gaudi architecture like Barcelona.
One of the suburbs we went to literally made street signs and street
statues out of trash.
Out of hubcaps out of steering wheels
things that you just are throwing away and
they create something magnificent out of it.
Not to mention the cars . . .
its exciting to see the old 50's Chevys and Cadillacs
so that was fun.
The music is everywhere you go every restaurant we went to
there was a band playing.
In the streets the old men play their drums and guitars and
get up and dance and the women do the same and
it it's just it art just permeates the country and
in every every shape and form and its
just enjoyable to watch so if you like music and art you'll love Cuba
Keep in mind when you travel to Cuba being a communist country and has been
closed off for
quite a while certainly from the United States, you do need
to travel with a licensed company.
You're not free to roam and go about where you please.
The standard of accommodations
would not be as we have in the united States anyway,
what we consider five star is
almost non-existent. What they consider five-star
is the equivalent of our four-star.
And so it's not perfect by American standards anyway
but as long as you go with an open mind I think you'll have a great time.
The sooner you go the better.
It will open up to the United States eventually but I think it's best to go
before any of that happens and you get to see the true
culture of these people how wonderful they are.
