I've been remiss in posting my travels over the past eighteen months.  Spending too much time enjoying the experiences, and not documenting what I encountered.  So the next series of posts will attempt to remedy. 

Spent six weeks in Cuba and Belize, one week in La Habana, and the rest traveling the countryside. Beautiful, yet improvised, particularly Cuba. Some parts of each city were refurbished, the rest were a testament to the paucity of services available under a Communist rule.Younger people have been indoctrinated since birth, and, although secretively, they have access to the Western world, they still reject its basic tenets. No sense in arguing, because their perspective is too narrow.  And, they have not been taught to challenge what they hear or read.
