The City of
Havana, Cuba is a city of many faces. It
is a city of people, history and diversity of

structures. From the entry of the Havana Harbor to it
inner city this city has your eyes in a state of constant scanning. I stayed in Old Havana where the historic
buildings are everywhere, where you case see the history from the remnants of
the old wall that once protected the city.

As I drive around
the city you see many memorials to their heroes and wonderful architecture that
goes back several centuries. I see
government buildings and buildings that were built by industry of the
country. From the top of the Bacardi Building
in Old Havana or the Inglaterra Hotel, you have magnificent views of this
wonderful old town.

and governmental buildings there are
millions of the most wonderfully friendly and fun people anywhere. A city of historic buildings is a very cold
ghost town without its people. Havana is
no exception, the people of Havana are very warm and giving, and they are there
to help when needed and seem to enjoy the interactions with the tourists and
especially the Americans that have come to see.

With the warming
relations between Cuba and the United States happening, it is time for the
American people to get to learn and understand that the politics of Cuba and
the warmth of its people are very different.
My visits there have left me with very warm feelings about the country
and a place where I can safely wander and explore all of the fun places and
sights freely. This is a place that you
need to put into your bucket list and be sure to follow up with soon as you
can. ;o)
