Virtual Tour of Havana

I was visiting Yoany Sanchez' blog Generation Y and someone called Webmaster, started posting these panoramic photographs. The pictures are a courtesy of 360Cities.net and were taken by Jeffrey Martin. They are amazing, you get the feeling you are standing in the middle of Havana. You can see what's on the sides, behind, in the back and below!!

For those of us who left so long ago without the possibility of returning, it's difficult to look at this images. Our beloved Havana Crumbles.

Pay close attention to the transparent arrows withing the photographs. When you click on them, you are transported into a different location withing the old city. It's fascinating!!

Hugo Chavez' Cats


This morning when stopped by my parents house for some Cuban coffee. My dad told me that he had a strange dream. He tends to have very colorful dreams. He said, it was about Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's president-to the dismay of the Venezuelan people.-bottom: 0.08in } A:link { so-language: zxx } -->

Hugo walked into a gigantic cage filled with thousands of Cats-some calico and some white with black spots and he started to spit his out his idiotic remarks as he does often for hours on end. The cats would clap and and flatter him, laughing at his stupid jokes. Hmmm....I wonder what it means?

Hollywood's Sick Love Affair with Che Guevara MURDERER!


Ernesto Che Guevara, the Butcher of the Cabaña is a celebrity to the Hollywood elite. While in charge of this hell of a prison, 400 men were executed, their crime, to have the audacity to think different then he did.

Che's hero was China's Mao, who killed 20 million of his countryman.

All together the victims of communism total approximately 60.3 million, but it would appear, that the victims of communism are insignificant to them. The people he would have imprisoned and killed, think he is a hero. They truly are the useful idiots Vladimir Lenin dreamed about.

I'm guessing, I have probably died and gone to hell!!!

Found this video on http://www.veoh.com/videos/ Very informative for people with blind consciences! The rest of us know better!

The Indispensable

After 50 years of putting up with a horses behind like Fidel, it's now the horse who has become indispensable in Cuba.

The horse and buggy or, "La Araña", the two wheeled carriage where the passengers sit, is pulled by a horse and it's a cheap method of transportation. It's doesn't matter if you have Pesos, Dollars or convertible money, because the horse will be content if you give him enough grass.

The form of transportation used during the "Independence War", is once again in style, for the "slaves of communism", who don't have an American car from the 1950s or before. They ride the horse and buggy out of necessity and not out of vanity. Cubans have regressed in time.

Another achievement of the Revolution!
