We decided to go to Havana while the great Casto is still around, and before the American tourists flood this beautiful island nation. A wonderful experience, and on the first day of our 2 week stay in this city, we hit Havana Vieja. What a wonderful sight to behold. I was in the Eastern Bloc in the 1970s, and in... More

The Old Havana is one of mystery and magic, it transforms you for latter years and you cant help wish you there to experience it in its hey day. Great to wander and explore.

visit here and return to the 1950's and see Pontiacs and Plymouths and cadillacs all from that era.a truly wonderfull experience.
