Favorite thing: I was told Camaguey was built with extra twisty streets to confuse pirates. It's a beautiful city to relax in and get to know some locals.
Fondest memory: I met a wonderful Cuban lady here who introduced me to her family and friends.

Favorite thing: Nueitas, was one of the most important Havens all around the country and a major industrianl town with a pop of about 35.000 people till 1989.
Nowadays the ramshackle townlooks as if it has suffered through four decades of devastation and desolation.
I grew up there when it was a happy place!!
Fondest memory: The melancolic look of a beloved town!!
the sadness left by the exoduss!!
