Comments on: Postcard from Havana, Cuba http://michaelmurray.ca/postcard-from-havana-cuba Michael Murray Writes Things Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:35:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 By: Michael Murray http://michaelmurray.ca/postcard-from-havana-cuba#comment-11786 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 16:35:20 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=3700#comment-11786 Thanks Sarah, I have to say, Havana was a real grind for us. We tried to sort of embed ourselves in the country by staying at bed and breakfasts, but we were so optimistic and white and out of place that we were actually mistaken for missionaries. We were told, while in a smaller city that we shouldn’t go to Havana, that we would be seen as nothing more than dollar signs, and Lo, the prophecy was foretold.

Wonderful turn of phrase and a great piece overall with crystal clear imagery (perhaps also as I’ve seen exactly what you are describing).

The real Cuba is not the one of most peoples’ imagination: austere but virtuous in the face of the Great Satan 90 miles away across the strait, instead of a reality less actual gulag than lifeless and banal.
