I have a friend who is an extremely talented amateur photographer. He could be professional if he chose. Earlier this year he and his family visited Cuba using the pretext of an invitation from a Cuban photography society. Apparently you need this sort of pretext to visit the country legally. They had a great time, were able to travel freely and would return in a heartbeat. He really whetted my interest. I’ve traveled to many countries in Latin America and would love to add Cuba to the list.
There is no latin american country I would ever visit....
I was invited on a similar expedition, only on the historical basis of documenting the eemaining steam locomotives working the sugarcane plantations.
