Life in Cuba Nowadays

I recently stumbled across a Latin American forum with opinions about Cubans’ quality of life. The reality is we have a bad reputation.

Our reader Larry Benvenuti from the United States took the photo of the day: “Miguel Toledo,1996” in Escambray, Cuba. He used his Kodak camera.

For decades, the Cuban and US governments have found minimal relations between the two countries in both of their interests.

Early morning on May 2, State Security and medical personnel forcibly entered the home of Cuban artist Luis Manuel Otero and kidnapped him.

Cuban officials lament that the current US president, Joe Biden, doesn’t want to return to the open policy towards Cuba of Barack Obama,

This episode stems from an illegal search and theft at the artist’s home by Police and State Security agents. Everything was recorded.

I like the word “brutal”. I like how it sounds, its multiple meanings, as well as its precision, in every context that it’s used in.

Greg Rothschilld from the United States took our photo of the day: “Pure Cuban Coffee” in the Sierra Maestra. He used his camera: Fuji XT-2.

“I think about the moral poverty of the government who cornered Luis Manuel and pushed him to his limit. Now they’re keeping him isolated…”

Our reader John Morris from the United States took our photo of the day: “Dancing on the beach” in Havana, Cuba. He used his Fuji FX1 camera.
