Re: When Cuba is 'free' again...
Interesting, I also hope you are wrong, but you sound right.
I have always thought of Cuba as the Germany of Latin America. I have felt they would take off when Castro dies.
The Bourdain show, No Reservations, was from Cuba this week and I was stunned at the overall shabbiness of Cuba in general. Much of what you wrote was conveyed in the show.
On a somewhat lighter note, they could make a big dent in their economic woes by auctioning off their automobiles. The number of 60+ year old USA cars on their streets is astounding.
