Blog: The Brink of Something Else - 11 July 2011
The Church was simple, as was the altar she had set up on the low wall in front of it. A white cloth, a doll, flowers, a basket. A well-used deck of cards. “¿Habla español?” she asks, indicating me with chin and cigar. “Sí, sí” Baryan said. “Cam, I’m gonna go take some pictures. See [...]

Photo Essay: Colors and Crumbling in Havana
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 2 September 2010
While Havana didn’t always feel like I imagined it would feel, I found it to be one of those rare places that looked the same in real life as it did in pictures.

Some of you may have read our previous post about Cancun and wondered why we were in Cancun in the first place. Well, we were in Cancun to attend the 2010 US Cuba Travel Summit which was organized to bring Cuban travel providers and Cuban government overseers together with travel providers from the US and Canada eager to strengthen or create inroads into the Cuban travel market. It was also organized to provide a platform for sharing opinions and projections about the future of the US government’s ban on travel by its citizens to Cuba.

This is Cuba!
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 23 February 2010
