idonotwantapickle.com / People ask why "Follow the White Rabbit". Whether you take it literally or metaphorically. Following the white rabbit means, to follow an unlikely clue, an innocuous unbelievable sign, to find oneself in the midst of more or less normal to extraordinary, marvelous, amazing circumstances that challenge one's fundamental beliefs, expands one's horizons and or perception of realities, transforms one's perspective and change one's life.

La Habana…………….(Havana)

We visited a tobacco farm. They also have to give 90% of their crop to the government. I think it was some of the best tobacco I have tasted. These cigars were not 25 for 5 dollars but well worth it.

On our way to the coast, we stopped at a small farm. Now remember this is Cuba. The government owes everything. The land, the homes, they own it all. So that makes the farmers just workers. They have to give 90% of what they grow directly to the government. They can eat, sell or whatever they want to do with their 10%. If the government is not happy with the farmers, they just get new farmers. One in the group, Amie brought clothes and such and handed some out here. The family was super nice and let us wander around at our leisure. They do have the basics and plenty of food.

This year I was able to spend just over a week in Cuba. Jonathan (a friend who has a travel company) had some friends that asked him to set up a little trip. Twelve of us flew from Ecuador to Panama then on to Cuba. The flight from Panama to Santa Clara, Cuba was completely booked so two flew into Havana and took a 4-hour taxi ride to Santa Clara in a 1956 Chevy. Nice start to the trip.
