I had always wanted to go to La Habana and spontaneously decided to do so one day. Three days later, after long hours of flying, transiting in Bahamas, and endless wait at the costums, there I was, with 3 days in front of me.
I imediately fell in love with the city and its inhabitants. Havana has a decadent charm; people are simple, curious, helpful and authentic.
I couldn't bare the thought of leaving and extended my stay of another two days.
- Pros:authentic, decadent and charming
- In a nutshell:much more than a Caribean Island

personal, interesting page ! well done
You said, It's impossible to believe that the Cubans of Miami come from here. Their way of being seems so far apart. For some reason or another, most Cubans (including the ones that were raised by Fidel) that end up in Miami change drastically.
Nice tips on Havana...it just grabs you...top City!
The 'Paladeros' sound interesting -- nice page, thanks.
Great pics of Havana. I liked the San Cristobel statute
Habana is a must, once in Cuba !
great memories come back to me when seeing this page!
Cool Havana page. Good tips too.
mui guapa tu pagina ....
I look forward to a time that it is easier for Americans to visit and enjoy Cuba. For now, thanks for posting this interesting peek south of our borders. : )
