HAVANA<br />
Aromas of coffee and cigars wafted on the breeze as chil-dren<br />
ran about while nearby relatives played dominos. Instead of a<br />
traditional hotel we decided to find a cool neighborhood Casa<br />
Particular, a family owned home that provides accommodations –<br />
they can be recognized by a white sign on the door with two blue<br />
triangles (‘roofs’).<br />
We felt that staying at a family-owned Casa Particular would make<br />
it easier to develop genuine Cuban relation- ships and become involved<br />
in the local culture. We stayed at Casa El Arco, for 20 CUC<br />
per person per night. Our hosts were very gracious and the room<br />
was clean. Tip: If you decide on a traditional hotel, keep in mind<br />
that most five-star hotels in Cuba are more like three star properties<br />
in the States.<br />
