It makes you wish that America's blockade of Cuba would be extended to the rest of the world. In a month, I never heard a voice raised in anger. Cubans seem to have surgically removed their acquisition drive and channeled their energy into music and love. The perfect beauty of Cuban men and women, the descendants of the Spanish settlers and African slaves, emphasizes the Utopian nature of Cuban Socialism. They look like ideal creatures from a future world envisioned by Campanella or Moore.
Men are handsome and manly.
This is a place to give your shopping mania a rest and pause to live and ponder life. Utopia does exist, and it is in the Caribbean Sea. Lest I be suspected of any bias, I search compulsively for the dark spot on this incomprehensibly lovely picture and I find it. The Cubans are bad cooks. There is no decent dinner to be had for love or money, even a lot of money.
