Cuba

One of the places I have wanted to visit is Cuba. And this Spring, we actually did! We visited Varadero. The beaches were awesome; white sand, clear blue water.

We did a day trip to Havana, the capital city. The tour guide gave us some insights on the culture and local systems. It was all very different, very humbling. This was the first time I experienced visiting a country run under dictatorship and communism. Despite still living in the 1960s, the people seemed very positive-minded and generally happy.

The resort was fantastic as well. Here are some pictures to share.
