I didn’t want to go to Cuba. When my friends put the trip together, I acquiesced, but had serious reservations.

Walking through the streets of Havana, you glimpse the glory of a long and distinguished history. Admittedly, the buildings are worn and dilapidated, but what magnificent structures they were and could be again! The “Paris of the Caribbean” is...
