I read a recent article in my hometown newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, entitled “Rihanna and Mick Jagger Party as Gold Rush Mood Grips Havana.”
I’m glad I got to visit there before the “gold rush” hit – it’ll be bananas in five years, although it’ll likely still retain many of its charms. It’s the people that make that place special. It was one of the best trips of my life.
Upon telling my travel story to others, I know of at least five other people I’ve inspired to also travel there – that’s inspirational in itself.
My trip to Cuba was way back in 2003 with my good friend Patrick Lacho (Jai Gopal), almost twelve years ago. Good memories. Before blogs and Wordpress existed. I’ll have to post something up about the trip sometime soon …
