Postcards from Cuba Presentation
- We met with Cubans who were so eager to talk with us and amazed that American kids would come to Cuba to learn more about their country.
Cuban people - People are unfailingly friendly, and the atmosphere in the city, while busy, has a wonderful community feel to it. People call and shout to neighbors from their balconies. Couples kiss each other goodbye on the street, shopkeepers greet their customers, and friends wave enthusiastically when they pass.
- Old Havanna - Locked in Time.
Old Havana - Admittedly, this is Havana Vieja, the old part of the city, where the streets are each just one lane wide. There are occasional cars, trucks, and motorcycles passing, but primarily people get around by walking and bikes. This makes for quiet, friendly streets even when they are bustling with activity.
Our "ride" while we were in Cuba...
- Ramon's Taxi and our Ride around Cuba.
Ramon only just got his business license in November 2010. Under the new rules allowing this type of business activity in Cuba, he was more than happy to be our ride wherever we needed to go. And a classic ride it was.
