Dave's World O' Wonders

Barb and Dave's Cuban Adventure, originally uploaded by davethetemp.

Hello and welcome to our Cuban vacation blog: An 18 month retrospective.

The photo above is of Barb and I on our first day. The mountains in the background are geologically unique and I'll write a bit about that later. This was a tour created to show the unique geology and ecology of Cuba. Barb went on the tour because she had enjoyed her previous trip to Cuba with this same tour company. I went along, not because I'm an ecology guy, but because I have always wanted to understand what life was like there. The US mythology around Cuba (both the official spin and the counter spin) is so pervasive that I couldn't tell the truth without being there myself. And so, at the reunion of Barb's previous tour group, they asked for a show of hands of who wanted to go in February of 2005 and mine went up.
