3 - 13 - 17  Finally, visited Cuba from February 28 to March 11, '17.  Had a direct flight from JFK to Havana and everything went very smooth.  Stayed in a Casa Particular in Central Havana and was able to walk to most places and Old Havana.  Many museums,cultural institutions, galleries, jazz concerts and ballet are available to see.  People are all very friendly and are now able to get Wi-Fi in all the hotels and various outdoors places, including their Central Park.  After exploring and photographing the architecture and it's people, the owner of the Casa made arrangements for a Collective Taxi to take us to Boca de Camarioca and Varadero on the Caribbean coast.  We wanted to stay in Boca, where the local Cubans live and had an entire 2nd floor of a house, all to ourselves. Love it all and looking forward to revisiting a different area of Cuba.  Viva Cuba!
