When you come out of Jose Marti Airport
in Havana, this is one of the first billboards
you see. Actually, there are no
commercial billboards whatsoever! You'll
just see a few about Che Guevara or the
Castro boys.

Sights of Havana . . . It's surprising how
quiet Havana is. With 3 million people, you
would expect crowded streets, traffic noise,
sirens . . . yet there's little traffic and what
you see is straight out of the 40's, 50's and
60's. Never heard a police or ambulance
siren in 7 days.

Red 1956 or 1957 Buick. Purple car may be
1956 or 1957 Chevy hybrid. This picture
was taken outside in the parking lot of the
Jose Marti Airport in Havana. The Cubans
there are probably waiting for their relatives
to bring them parts for the cars!

autographed walls by many of
Hollywood's A-List Directors who go
down periodically to give workshops.
Robert Redford, Oliver Stone, Martin
Scorcese and Francis Ford Coppola
have all been there.

Carts and horses are common sight in rural Cuba. Most
of the horses I saw appeared malnourished.

Steps and sidewalks are a gathering
place for socializing after a day's work.

Above are Cuban flags flying in front of the
U.S. Embassy or actually the U.S.
Intersection office as we officially don't
have an embassy there. Many years ago,
in defiance, the Cuban government put up
black flags in front of the U.S. building. On
May 1, when Cuba has their big May Day
Parade, the Cuban Government replaced
the black flags with these you see below.

Inside one of the Cuban homes I
visited was this great portrait of their
father. What a wonderful face he has!
