Cars and Taxis in Cuba-2012

Because Cuba is foremost in the news recently, I decided to take the liberty of posting some more photos from my 2012 October trip to that nation island. I will continue to post more Cuban photos in the next few days.  I am SO glad that I took that trip because I believe that there will inevitably be many changes there when American tourists start arriving.  I've read in the newspaper that Canadians are not especially happy since they have been enjoying Cuba for many years without our presence. Some are afraid that we will force many changes and higher prices. Other people have lamented that the Cuban people will change and lose their soul.  C'mon, the Cubans are beautiful people, and it will take more than our tourism to impact them negatively. I sincerely hope that their government officials are the ones that will change and reduce the poverty among the citizens of Cuba.

    Love the photos - they bring me back to my teen years when I drove a 57 Ford Fairlane, a '50 Plymouth Coupe, and a 55 Chevy Bel Air! I'm also hoping the same as you.

    I think Cuba would be a beautiful place to visit. I'd be mad if I was Canadian, lol.

    It must have been so much fun seeing all of those vintage automobiles on the road. Like going back in a time machine.
    When I was in elementary school a wealthy little girl in my class vacationed in Cuba at a fancy resort with her family.....just before all of the trouble began. I remember watching their slides.

    An aunt and uncle of mine have regularly gone to Cuba over the years. I'm of a bit of a different mindset- my idea of a good vacation doesn't involve warm beaches and tans in the Caribbean.

    Some of those old cars have stood up well!

    I'm very happy to see more photos of that trip. I was tickled to see the first batch in 2012.
    Love these brightly colored cars. Some of the strongest images I've seen of Cuba are those vintage cars, still in service.
