Americans in Cuba?
Yes, there are some great hotels, but you will pay a fortune for them and that was not in my budget. Funny, I showed the article I wrote to a Cuban friend in Mexico and he had a good laugh. Laughed because he thought I nailed it. He grew up there and taught a local university. When I went you needed a special visa to travel from the United States and I believe that is still the case. If you have an American passport and enter Cuba they will not stamp it so you do not get in trouble with the US State Department. They then give you a special paper visa to show you are in the country legally. Yes, the artwork is a bargain. I felt I was praising the Cuban artist and somehow it was view the other way. I never thought I even suggested that Americans where king and we could rip off the locals. I paid the asking price. I hope you do not think I should of paid more. I do find it interesting that two people can go to the same place and see things from a completely different perspective. I traveled to Cuba with a friend who wrote for an east coast paper. He came away with a completely different impression that was not favorable.— June 20, 2012 10:39 p.m.
