[Leica] Cuba

[tmanley at gmail.com (Tina Manley)]

Cuban food in the USA is wonderful!  Cuban food in Cuba is bland, bland,
bland and always the same.  A salty fried meat, rice, beans, and either
plantains, yucca, or malanga, fried or stewed.  A salad of cabbage,
tomatoes, cucumbers with oil and vinegar.  In very few restaurants there
were other choices.  We had a total of 4 good meals in the month we were in
Cuba.  But I would still go back!
