Cuba with Paula May 2009

     When Paula lived in Grand Cayman, she made reservations with her travel agent for us to fly to Cuba for a nominal sum.
     Observations from our taxi ride from the airport to Hotel Raquel in “Old Town”:  MANY signs noting “Felelidad a la Revolucion” (Loyalty to the Revolution); vintage Pontiacs, Fords, Chevies  and others; numerous motorcycles with double riders and side cars; pastel colored homes; high rise buildings in the “new” part of Havana gradually leading to colonial covered walkways which were similar to those I’ve seen in Spain and Mexico.
     Our driver dropped us off 1/2 block away from our hotel since iron blockades mandated foot traffic.
