I've just returned from a two week adventure in Cuba. It was lovely with a mix of sun and clouds and although I can't say that I got a super realistic picture of Cuban life, I feel I got a peek.
We spent a day in Havana – a beautiful, yet decaying city. I wish we could have stayed longer but, unfortunately we were with a tour and had very little free time to wander. We were lucky to visit Bodeguita del medio to sample their famous Mojito (a favourite of Ernest Hemingway).
We spent a week on the Cuban island, Cayo Largo del Sur. The weather there was hot (it's south of the mainland). Lots of beach lounging happened there. My favourite day on the island was the morning we spent floating around on a yacht with our Cuban captain, his skip and a couple from Montreal. Simply lovely.
If you're wanting to learn a bit about the history of Cuba, (it's pretty fascinating) here's a great article on Cuban life and design.
