10 Parts Of Cuba We Cannot WAIT To See

[Grey]

6. Also check out their Capital building, and exact copy of the US congress.

You can walk the halls and visit the offices......
Walk down to the Havana Graveyard, it's beautiful. Office workers sitting and having lunch with great grandpa. The sculpture is amazing. The old fort is worth an afternoon stroll, there was an open air market on the parade grounds....

We are talking about going back for another visit before the island is opened to US tourists although we met a lot of americans while there. Some pretending to be Canadian. The agricultural collage is really interesting, they have greenhouses devoted to different climates. Desert, tropical, temperate, can't remember the last one. It's been 10 years since we were there. An orchid conservancy with hundreds of different orchids on show. All the houseplants we have in our homes - growing wild. Types of trees I have never seen before, An alligator farm, they almost went extinct for boots and purses. Turtle farms, they were being wiped out for dinner.
We went to a cigar factory and were offered samples, in the rum factory we got to sample all the different rums about 9 small tastes, we liked the 12 year old rum best. Rum was about $3 a 26 oz bottle. The show at the Tropacanna was spectacular. A tobacco farm where they farmed with oxen. Wish I could remember the name of the cave we visited. You go down a long flight of stairs and get into boats, you float down river to some amazing sights. Just before an enormous waterfall you dock and have a bar-b-que lunch and chew on raw sugar cane.

I wish I could remember more but we only had 2 weeks just packed with sightseeing, one thing they need badly is someone to start up a cooking school. They have all the ingredients but could use some help putting them together.
One fun thing to do is going into the markets and cafes and chatting with the locals,
One old fellow had a 'dremmel' like tool and did the most remarkable sculptures, we brought several of them home. This was before all the latest changes so I can't comment on them be we loved the island and the people.
