If music be the food of love... play on.
I have two strong abiding memories of visting Havana for a week a few years back.
The first was how the populace despite all the economic and political deprivations (and I'm not making light of them here) made sure that they enjoyed life as much as possible - and that meant music and dancing at the drop of a hat.
We usully make a video film wherever we travel, and the great thing about Havana was that in virtually every area of town you managed to capture music in the background from bars, street entertainers and just people houses.
I'm not sure the revolution would have lasted this long without this attitude to life being displayed !
The second thing I remember was just how good-looking the Cuban women were. One evening I sat on the balcony of hotel and made an hour-long video focussing entirely on female bottoms in the square.
I could probably sell it for hundreds of pounds in certain circles ! |

craic Wed Mar 5, 2008 12:50 UTC fascinating page - would really like to go to cuba - one day | kyoub Fri Oct 26, 2007 16:02 UTC Thanks for the small glimpse of Cuba. That is no doubt as close as I will come to seeing the island. You don't like Ford's? At one time the thunderbird was my favorite car. | Helga67 Fri Dec 1, 2006 10:52 UTC What I remember best from Havana is music, music and music. | alza Wed Jun 21, 2006 20:27 UTC didn't know (or remember) you'd been in Cuba. The Inglaterra is a grand old place! I also thought that Veracruz was a lot like Havana, architecture, ambience and all. Hasta luego! |
