patman24 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Beautiful! It's not only habanos that get better with age, Cuba itself is an amazingly beautiful vintage. I can't imagine Cuba in any other way, locked in a time capsule. Splendid pictures, thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 love these photos. it is amazing how many people are familiar, let alone places. the grey haired waiter lighting the cigar, from the oriental, was far and away the most competent waiter we have encountered in cuba. lovely man. makes me just want to get on the next plane.

laficion Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well,we finally made it to Havana and as we pause, many different things are cruising in our mind. Numerous thoughts accompanied by images that we have experienced in the last 2 weeks expressed a global view of Cuba, for us, A beautiful country with beautiful people. People who are stranded in the 50's but, have none the less, a hot blooded and extraordinary hunger for life. Finally, all of the cubans we had the chance and the privilage to meet and to get to know, had and will have for eternity, a beautiful and exceptional glow in their eyes that truly screams out the hopes and expectations they have in their future. That's it guys & gals, It's long but I hope you'll enjoy. Guy Vive la France Pinar del Rio Hope in the Future cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
