The farewell is almost here! In 11 days we’ll be out of the apartment that gave us shelter in the last 5 years and a half. We have been really happy here, have had wonderful friends and dear family coming over to visit us and surprisingly we do not feel sad at all that we are […]

Today I went out for lunch to The Pilot,  a Yorkville restaurant with a nice rooftop patio ( The Flight Deck). I kept looking at a city full of tall buildings and cranes. Some of the buildings are relatively new, some will be finished in a year or so. Small businesses and outdoor parking lot spaces […]

I get a lot of questions from Canadians who want to visit Cuba for the first time. Is it safe there? Do I need a vaccine?  Is the food good? Is the silver as cheap as in Mexico? Have you heard of this hotel? Can you find me a tour guide in Havana? Cuba is […]
