There’s another thing that Cuba is famous for and it’s the beaches. They are some of the most wonderful one in the world. The closest beach to Habana is about 30 minutes’ drive and the only morning I decided to go a storm was approaching.

    This was forwarded to me by my daughter…excellent work captioning the “truth”. Buildings collapsing all around, roads with holes, water can only run for several hours since all the potholes get filled with water. I was there in 2001 and it looks worse.
