Your ability to as-literally-as-a-metaphor-can-get to take me places with your writing is seriously unmatched. I feel like I've just come back from a holiday in Cuba after reading... For which I am grateful as it saddens me greatly to think that I will have never had the opportunity to see Cuba before the northern neighbour puts its ugly, heavy, grey stamp on the beautiful, colourful, music-playing Cuba :(

Thank you so much. Maybe, just maybe, things will settle down and you'll get your chance.

Great read! I was in Cuba in November 2005 and enjoyed every moment of it. No resorts for me – I was with the average folk the whole time. I was telling the Cubans that they and their country were in better shape at the time than most of the Balkans.

That's what I find sad about the current situation, I suspect from what I read that you wouldn't say that now.
