October 19, 2016August 10, 2020 Rich McClear

Sustainable Propaganda (But Nice Pictures)

October 19, 2016August 10, 2020 Rich McClear

October 4, 2016 Much of our trip to Cuba is defined by conditions set by the late Senator Jesse Helms in the Helms-Burton act.  The act limits the conditions under which Americans can travel to Cuba.  We are here on … Continue reading Sustainable Propaganda (But Nice Pictures)

October 19, 2016August 10, 2020 Rich McClear

Our bus tour took us through different neighborhoods of Havana, through the Miramar and Vedado neighborhoods and we arrived at the pier in time to do a little shopping.  At each place we stopped the seller said “See you Saturday.” … Continue reading Sailing into a Havana Sunset.
