Cuba
1/30/2024
: In "Support of the Cuban people", we stayed for a couple of nights in a Casa Particular on Playa Larga. This was the one place where I found the Cuban food that I expected to see in Cuba, maduro plantains!
After our trip into the swamp, we were dropped off at Casa Ana, a house with some bird feeders in town. It was very surprising that first of all, I believe they were feeding the birds honey, which is very expensive in the states. Also, there were tons of warblers coming into the feeders which I had never seen anywhere before.
