Category Archives: Cuba When I visited Trinidad, Cuba, I would always go for a morning walk and see what I would run into in this picturesque town. Like the classic American cars still driving through the streets or farmers on their horse carriages selling their produce on corner markets. Or this little guy. He was standing in the […] 
 I was renting a small room in a private house in Trinidad, Cuba and this classic Ford Fairlane was always parked across the street. Everyday, as I would begin my excursions, I would see it there all alone. As if it was calling out to me…waiting for me to come take its photo. Well one […]
 It was my first day in Viñales, Cuba and the first thing I did was to rent a bike and go for a ride in the countryside. This is the heart of tobacco country and you will see lush farms everywhere. They also grow sugar cane and coffee. Add in some classic 50’s American cars […]
 You know what I have in common with such historical luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Ché Guevara, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill and the Mob? We have all probably enjoyed a fine cigar and a mojito in Havana’s famed Hotel Nacional. There is quite a bit of history with this place. It was built atop an old […]
 As you stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Havana, you’ll encounter these colorful older ladies all along Obispo or Mercaderes streets. They just chill all day enjoying a huge cigar (or two) and engage everyone who passes by into friendly conversation. They will happily oblige if someone wants to snap a photo. Oh, but you […]
 When I visited the tobacco farmlands of Viñales, I never realized I would get such an education. After the tobacco is picked, it is brought to these special tobacco houses.

 If you want to visit a town where the colonial past is still visible in its streets and architecture than you should visit Trinidad, Cuba. With its pastel colored buildings and cobblestone streets, it seems like not much has changed since the 1700’s. Smack in the middle of the central plaza is a statue of […]
 These dome-shaped limestone hills, known as Mogotes, are located in the Cuban countryside within the province of Pinar del Rio. In order to find this spot for a photo shoot, you need to either hitchhike, walk, or bike about 3 km outside of the town of Viñales. When you see a sign off the road […]
 I was in the colonial town of Trinidad, Cuba for a few days and each day, my routine was pretty much the same. I would get up early to go for a walk prior to the mid-day heat and then in the evening I would enjoy some live Cuban music up the steps in the […]
 I could walk the streets of Havana all day long. The sights, sounds, and colors are unlike any other place I have been to. If you are a music lover, you can’t go wrong with going for a stroll in the city. Wherever you go, you are bound to hear some great music emanating from […]
