Yes indeed, great news, although I want to visit before corporate turns Havana into Miami. The old saw, “be careful what you wish for” comes to mind… Having said that, it is long overdue and I salute Pope Francis and President Obama for facing reality even if the aging and dwindling, but still wealthy exile community is having hissy fits. The exile community IS the definition of insane. That minuscule group of radical extremists wrote our foreign policy for fifty four years…well, I’m sorry, whatever you were trying to accomplish failed. Time to move on and accept reality. Two words: Communist China. Communist, check. Most Favored Trading Partner, check. The hypocrisy is over, the emperor is naked and Elvis has left the building.
My thoughts exactly Alex. My heart breaks at the idea of McDonalds, Burger King, and all the other bad food places lining the streets and five star hotels taking over all of those beautiful beaches! I can’t stand the thought! I’ve watched that happen and it’s not pretty, just sad.
