Our legal visit to Cuba was a "People to People" cultural exchange so we met many people. Here is an art student at the National Art School of Cuba.
The art school was once a golf course for the elite.

Cuba has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Could it be because the internet is illegal and almost no one has a computer so the population is reading and not playing video games? Hmmm,?

Recently went to Cuba (legally) and it was like stepping through a time machine!

The Malecón: there are still workers who clean the streets on foot.

Chevy in Cuba

Recently went to Cuba (legally) and it was like stepping through a time machine!

It was not only the old cars, but the lack of cell phones, the internet, and so much more.

More photos will follow.
