TWO ANNES IN CUBA Anne Hamilton and I spent 10 days in Cuba in April. It is a fascinating country, and the people have been deeply affected by the politics of its leaders for over a century. The buildings and towns have been moulded by the Spanish who owned the country since the days of pirates. Those buildings that have survived are beautiful and border the wide streets of Havana and the other towns. The plazas are full of statues to their heroes of past battles: Independence from Spain, then the fall of the American-backed President Batista, and the defence of the communist Castro regime against the American invasion at the Bay of Pigs. The rise of Fidel Castro, helped by the guerrillas and Che Guevara, led to the embargo of goods and a situation still seen today of old building in decay because of the lack of materials to mend them--- and THE CARS ! We were amazed to walk out of the airport to see 1950s American cars used as taxis, and a bright yellow Morris Minor. I guess about 50% of all the cars were old American ones: Chevrolets were the most popular, but there were also Buicks, Plymouths, Ladas from the days of Russian support in the 1960s and 1970s, Volkswagens and other European cars. We saw Cuba on an arranged tour using a comfortable bus and stayed in their version of a B&B. At each location we were allocated to a local family. As you can imagine these varied and sometimes the showers were cold (!) but their hospitality was warm and the breakfasts were far too big. It is the way that local people can afford to maintain their homes. 7
