3 - 13 - 18  Revisited Cuba from February 27 to March 11 and couldn't wait to return.  Lovely, mild, sunny days awaited us in Havana, where we stayed in last years Casa Particular in Central Havana with Fina and Daniel.  A lovely couple who arranged places for us to stay in Trinidad and Varadero, along with getting us a collective taxi to take us on the road.  While in Havana we had the pleasure of seeing the ballet "Giselle" at the Grand Theatre of Havana.  We saw more tourists from around the world who are now flocking here from New Zealand, takes 24 hours, Czech Republic, Brazil, Estonia, Germany, France and of course the snowbirds from Canada.  Travelling south to Trinidad, took us thru the countryside, where farmers grew pineapple, sugarcane and mangoes.  Trinidad is an UNESO World Heritage town with cobblestone streets, old markets and churches.  A quaint town with people who want to talk to all the tourists.  Heading back north to the pristine beach of Varadero, with it's turquoise Caribbean waters, was once again welcoming.
Looking forward to visiting the eastside of Cuba, Holguin, Santiago de Cuba, Baracoa, at the very tip of Cuba and the Caribbean town of Guardalavaca.  Viva Cuba!
