It was an interesting trip in the middle of the balseros crisis, I think it was the cause of the tourist packages to Cuba decreased the prices and became more affordable for us in Brazil, even with our weak currency comparing with the US dollar. We visited Havana and Varadero invited by my wife's relatives from Japan, they're professional photographers and arranged a meeting with mr. Korda (the man who took the famous picture of Che Guevara) in his house in Havana. About that though time I remember a car ride in Malecon and we saw a group of balseros entering the sea, the taxi driver shouted "que se vayan todos!". We went to Copelia to try the chocolate ice cream featured in the movie Fresa y Chocolate and in Varadero we watch a brazilian soap opera on the TV with the hotel staff. Maybe I publish these and other memories here in Hive too.

That sounds like an epic trip!
I loved reading you because, as I told you, I've only heard stories from that time, and I think they’re never enough.
Today's Cuba is a 2.0 version of that Cuba, just as frozen in time.
If you decide to make those posts, mention me because I would gladly read them; it would truly be a pleasure to read those memories.
