| May 2008 | Inside Cuban Culture Travelogue |
by Chen Lizra |
It was super hot outside and it felt so nice walking on the streets at night wearing so little. The soft wind felt like it was caressing my skin. The heat mixes with seduction and the Mojitos are so alcoholic that they make you tipsy. It’s hard to walk and not smile at life. |

| Jun 2008 | Cuba—travelling off the radar Travelogue |
by Julie Schwietert Collazo |
For American travelers, Cuba remains one of the last tantalizing forbidden travel destination spots in the world. While Americans may not want to visit some other countries, they can go almost anywhere with relative ease. Officially, though, Cuba is off the American traveler's map, or so it seems. The laws regarding Americans' travel to Cuba are complex, requiring patient scrutiny, a high tolerance for bureaucracy, and a long wait for those who wish to visit Cuba under officially sanctioned pretenses, which are shrinking exponentially each year. |

| Jun 2005 | Paladares in Cuba Travelogue |
|
The name paladar comes from the Brazilian soap opera, Vale Todo (Anything Goes), which was extremely popular in Cuba in the early 1990s. Raquel, the enterprising protagonist of the telenovela, was a poor woman who moved from the Brazilian provinces to Rio. She worked as an itinerant food vendor on the famous beaches of Copacabana and eventually made it big after setting up her own chain of small restaurants, which she christened “Paladar.” |
