Sounds like it might be an interesting one.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteI am behind on my plantation knowledge of Cuba and didn't realize they had sugarcane plantations there. I was so hoping we'd get to visit a tobacco field when we were planning a trip there pre-covid. I wanted to see the cigars being made.
ReplyDeleteThey are super fun for the tourists, and probably less fun for those who live there. Our people often go there to cure cancer as their doctors have some methods and knowledge untouched by big pharma.
DeleteYes, I hear their medical system is superior to ours. Whereas we're all about profit, they are actually about helping.
DeleteYes, but I am not sure if they use it for their citizens as well or just us strangers.
DeleteI don't think I have ever watched anything from Cuba...that's a handsome couple.
ReplyDeleteHe is drop-dead gorgeous indeed
