Among Friends: Travels in Cuba - E-book - ePub

Among Friends: Travels in Cuba is the account of an independent traveler discovering Cuba. With an eye for the beauty, absurdity and tragedy of daily life, Murray first explores Havana and then the provinces to the west and east in visits spread over the first eight years of post-Fidel rule. We meet Julian, her Cuban guide and friend, Magdalena, landlady and untiring critic of the Castro regime, Ernesto, taxi driver and mountain guide, and an entertaining cast of naïve Canadian tourists, enterprising peasants and perspiring bicycle-taxi drivers.
A humorous introduction to Cuban life for the uninitiated, Travels in Cuba is also a fond recollection for those who have already experienced the country.
