Yes, he and another two local guys went down there. All said it was a 
marvellous trip, and have lots of great pictures to prove it. One in 
particular that Tom took of tango dancers in the street was very striking. I 
think that one was in the Viewfinder as well.

Tanya and I are going end of January - beginning of February for a couple of 
weeks. About nine days with a driver outside of Havana and the rest on our 
own in Havana. Good thing we planned to go now, before all you 'Muricans' 
show up there. :-) 

 I bet in about 5 years it will look massively different, but unfortunately 
part of what makes Cuba 'Cuba' now will be there no longer. The difference 
is what makes it so appealing now. Hope it doesn't turn too 'Miami', not 
that Miami doesn't have a lot going for it while on the tip of Florida.
