It looks like you went to a lot more places than most people I know who've gone recently. This region looks beautiful - I especially like the pics through the cave. And that mural is amazing!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Sue<br /><br /><a href="http://bookbybook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Book By Book</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672287715182121633.post-1228531481336270462017-08-27T17:53:01.060+10:002017-08-27T17:53:01.060+10:00Cuba is not a gourmet food destination, but most o...Cuba is not a gourmet food destination, but most of the food we ate was seasonal, fresh and certainly did not come from a packet or processing plant.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672287715182121633.post-59289451774566935352017-08-27T17:50:21.837+10:002017-08-27T17:50:21.837+10:00I believe the Cubans consider themselves to be mor...I believe the Cubans consider themselves to be more of a socialist country rather than a communist one. They are very proud of their hard won independence, even though many probably also see their political model as deeply flawed at the same time. The anti-consumerism sentiment was quite strong wherever we went, but whether it's based on necessity and making the best of the embargo will only be revealed as time goes by.<br /><br />Wikipedia says - Cuba has had, according to the Constitution, a democratic centralist political system since 1959 based on the "one state – one party" principle. Cuba is constitutionally defined as a Marxist–Leninist "socialist state guided by the political ideas of Marx, one of the fathers of historical materialism, Engels and Lenin". The present Constitution also ascribes the role of the Communist Party of Cuba to be the "leading force of society and of the state" and as such has the capability of setting national policy.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672287715182121633.post-29225403903584943782017-08-27T12:18:12.964+10:002017-08-27T12:18:12.964+10:00Thank you for sharing . this is so interesting .

It's hard to believe that a place with so many artists and so much color could be a long time communist country. I can't explain that. It seems disconcerting. <br /><br />https://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2017/08/an-author-and-fan-dav-pilkey-at-bookexpo.html?m=1Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672287715182121633.post-42958139954465777422017-08-27T01:40:16.518+10:002017-08-27T01:40:16.518+10:00Beautiful photos.
