Cuba is an incredibly popular vacation destination for Canadians because vacation packages are cheap.  Havana, in particular, is very interesting – it’s full of culture, dancing, art, architecture, and interesting people.

During our stay in Havana, we met many locals, got familiar with the local art scene, and tried out some of the newest restaurants.  For a long time, Cuba’s food has been pretty bland, partly because imported spices are difficult to acquire as well as government regulations on restaurant privatization.
