Photos of Cuba

[PeeJay]

One of our infrequent visitors, Sears, has just returned from Cuba and sent me these photos that he said I could share with you

Nice...! Might be really worth going while it's still the way it is...

The fields and house are Pinar del Rio and that's the Grand National Hotel in La Habana

Great photos! Very well taken.

Nice pics, we've stayed in the Nacional twice. It's like stepping back in time inside, the terrace out the back, overlooking the ocean, Mojito & a cigar is heaven!

Yes, a lovely place. My wife and I stayed there during our honeymoon in '09.

Peejay, thank Sears for sharing. The pictures are great.

A few great photos!

I need to get back to Cuba soon, it a fantastic country, and now that I know more about cigar than when I went a couple of years ago I just feel it will be all the better!

First time I went I wasn't interested in cigars and the resort had a resident roller

Indeed it has been some time since I have been on here. I was down in February. My trip over lapped the Habanos festival but we had our own festivities planned. I stayed in Centro and in Pinar del Rio for for 2 days. That is about as exact as I can get with the place we stayed in Pinar as the person we stayed with is not allowed to host foreigners right now. As for pictures....well....

Without being terribly long winded.....Cuba is not really what I expected, but then again it was. The first days you are there the 1950's cars take you by surprise. After that it is normal. The Malecon was awesome. I was a block off of it. Every morning I looked off the balcony and there is was. Rush hour in Cuba. The infrastructure there is falling apart...along with all the buildings outside of Old Havana. Internet is a pipe dream there.
