Laura Howarth — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:45:30 +0000

The first time I landed in Cuba I was feeling jet-lagged and recovering from a nasty case of food poisoning. But it was my first time in the Caribbean, so I forced a smile and hopped aboard the hotel shuttle bus. Eduardo, the hotel rep, grabbed the bus microphone and bellowed “Welcome to Mexicooooo!” to [...]

Top 5 Foods to try in Cuba (Or make at home)

Laura Howarth — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:53:15 +0000
