to Cuba! On this amazing trip, Cuba will fill up your senses
with opportunities to see, hear, smell taste and feel an intoxicating

we will see can only be seen in Cuba. Due to her unique cultural/political
situation, much of what we will experience can only be experienced
now!!! |

We
will see for ourselves why, upon landing, Christopher Columbus
exclaimed, Esta es la tierra más bella que humanos
han visto. "This is the most beautiful land that human
eyes have ever seen."
We will
see Varadero Beach, so breathtakingly beautiful that it
is known as one of the most famous in the world. Aqua waters
wash on white sand, and the shades of pink to lavender coral
seem to reflect the sky at dusk.
|
| Another
sight for appreciative eyes is the Spanish / colonial / Caribbean
architecture of Old Havana. You will see the Teatro Nacional
(where with luck, we will enjoy a ballet), Hemingway's and
other mansions grand old hotels, and Cuba's first building
in 1552.
At Valle
Viñales we will see how nature has graced this island
in a totally different way. Here, red-orange Famboyan trees
blend with verdant greens and rich tobacco fields. The natives
say that this is a very spiritual place.

 |
Everywhere
there is music. Just listen carefully to the delightful musical
Cuban intonation and you will find yourself broadening the
range of Spanish accents that you can understand. As you engage
in conversation with these hospitable, kind oand patient people,
you may hear yourself using new words like "uaua".
Listen
with your heart to the conga, the rumba, and the salsa.
You will hear a blend of Latin, African, and Caribbean rhythms.
You will also hear a rare exuberance and zest for life that
resounds throughout the country.

It
is said that the sense of smell is the strongest carrier of
memories.
Perhaps this is why the aroma of a Havana cigar, roasting
Cuban coffee, or black bean soup brings such nostalgia to
those who had to leave. Our memories of these and many others
and the taste of a heavenly home-cooked meal is guaranteed
to have us longing to return.

Feel
why Ernest Hemingway, always searching to experience the most
robust, lustiest and juiciness that life has to offer, chose
to settle in Cuba. Like Hemingway, we will have the opportunity
to feel the power and majesty of this magnificent land and
know how he was inspired to write books such as The Old Man
and the Sea. |
