The idea for this trip came from Liv . . . "Let's go see Cuba while Fidel and Raul are still in power, and before it changes." Interesting. To be honest, Cuba had not been on my top 10 places to visit, but the more Liv spoke about it and the more I read about the country, the more intrugued I became. Sure I love Cuban-American food. And, yes, I loved hearing and seeing the Buena Vista Social Club perform. I also loved seeing old photographs of my in-laws sipping rum cocktails on the patio of the Nacional Hotel in the 50s. OK, and what's not to love about 50s cars and a whole country that seemingly was frozen in the decade of my birth.
