Cuba

You cannot imagine how difficult it was to find someone going to Cuba from the US. Our government has not made it an easy travel destination though it has opened up some to art groups and those with families living there.

Robert is an amazing artist whose work focuses on nature and the effects of mankind on our natural environment. He and Forrest travel to what I think of as fairly exotic places where he studies and sketches for his work as well as simply to enjoy themselves. Below is their short comment on the trip:

"Treking thru Cuba, Jan 2012, Flew into Havana, stayed in casa particulares (private homes), then on to Trinidad where the magnets were given to a Cuban household, treked thru the rain forest Topes De Collante. We are very fortunate to be living in the United States."

 

This is the kitchen that has your magnet Trinidad, Cuba. This is not your average kitchen, a home open to toursists. Most homes do not have spices or even running water.
