A
couple years ago, when it was still possible,
we made a trip to Cuba to explore Old Havana and the street life
of the city. Our visit started on May Day, 2002, and ended just
five days later — a week before Jimmy Carter came to Cuba at
Castro's invitation, a period of cautious optimism in US-Cuba relations
that seems like a lifetime ago. Herewith two graphical looks at
Cuba, one from the glory days of Mungo
Park and one from a more recent and low-profile visit.
 IMAGES
OF HAVANA: Click
here to launch the slide show in a new window. You can resize
the window to best view the photos, and use the numbered navigation
to page through the digital snapshots. Just close the window when
you're finished.
 PAINTINGS
OF CUBA: Explore Roger Mason's vision of Cuba from 1995, when
he lived there for several months gathering material for his music
and his canvas. Clicking on the painting
or here launches the binary (you'll see what we mean) Mungo
Park production in a new window.
