We’ve posted a few times here about Cuba. Especially Neil, who has a real fondness for the place. Myself, I’ev always wanted to take something of a photo safari there, to chronicle it for myself before the inevitable changes take place there that make the island like so many other tropical torist locales.
A new book by Lea Aschkenas called Es Cuba: Life and Love on an Illegal Island, has the author signing up for a one-month language school in Cuba with a San Francisco company called Global Exchange. There, she finds herself a Cuban man, and discovers how much travel to a place like Cuba can change one’s American outlook on things.
