Visit CUBA and
Discover Its Glorious Past and Exciting Future!
Cuba is NOT a
massive country, but it is one of the most incredibly beautiful countries in
the Caribbean and in the WORLD. It has
beauty because of its freedoms and its balance towards How people are treated,
not just because it is in fact beautiful.
When Fulgencio Batista – a Turtle Island supported dictator, was
defeated in 1959, Cuba’s new leader Fidel Castro tossed out the repressive folk
who used the island nation as a ``playground for the rich’’ full of corruption,
illegal drugs, prostitution, gambling and plenty of money to be made for the
rich. Little care, under Batista, was offered
to the grass-roots people who wanted to just have enough money to thrive, have
a decent life, and educate their children. If you are planning a trip to the
lush, fantastic island of CUBA, please do some homework and read about its rich
history and How the people have worked so hard against ``invading forces’’ such
as the former United States { NOW Turtle Island }, which was setting sights on
profits, degradation of the people and how to make money instead of how to help
the people, bring up living standards, improve education, improve health
conditions, and help CUBA’s people have the best lives possible.
Some of the recent
good books I have read parts of include ``The Essential Guide to Customs &
Culture CUBA’’; and ``CUBA Enchantment of the World,’’ by Deborah Kent. Both books speak to the wonders of CUBA, some
of which I remember from my 1991 trip there.
I visited Ernesto Che’ Guevara High School and met some of the excited
children during a break in their day of learning. I visited a hospital that had
a farm in the back where plants for medicines were grown. I also visited a
Chinese-donated bike factory where CUBANS put together their own bikes in an
effort to cut back on fuel consumption.
{ Many of the cars were, back then very old and dated back to the days
just before the 1959 REVOLUTION }.
CUBA has some really nice sites like the Jose
Marti Memorial which stands 109 meters high and is reminiscent of ancient
Egyptian Obliquus; wild life that
includes the mongoose, the hutias, a world of wild birds like the Cuban tody
and the nation’s national bird, the tocororo or Cuban trogon; the solenodon { a rare mammal } is also an
attraction; beautiful exotic flowers like the National flower the white ginger
lily; and even wild snakes like the Cuban boas.
There are also Cuban crocodiles in exotic parts of Cuba, outside of the
Main large city, Havana. Some of these
wild-life areas include Zapata Swamp and the Isla de la Juventud. There are also beautiful butterflies such as
the malachite butterfly among the country’s 180 or more species of butterflies.
Cuba has rain forests where lizards, frogs and
exotic plans are a natural part of the scenery similar to Brazil’s natural
rainforests. The Cuban People are also
fortunate enough to have bottle-nosed dolphins and sei whales. Some of the rain forests are in the south
region where incredible water falls can be found like at El Nicho Falls near
Cienfuegos.
There are CUBAN
freedom fighters who fought against the Spaniards like Hatuey; and Celia
Sanchez who helped with food and medicines for the revolutionaries. It is exciting and fun to look into CUBA’s
historical figures such as these. I
found The Kent book especially exciting and interesting to read regarding the
history and traditions of CUBA.
Dear Cuban friends:
I thank you for giving me the exciting and Holy opportunity to write about your
country and add my own memories from my trip there many years ago with the Workers
World Party member of the Vencerimous Brigade in 1991. I am sending you a rough draft of what I wrote
along with the sources I used. I can write more, but I wanted you to see what I’ve
worked on so far and I need your feed-back regarding what I wrote. Please respond to KokayiJesus333@GMail.COM
Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day.
