It looks like it won't be long before many of them will either fall down or need to be taken down, which is too bad as the varied old architecture is fabulous.Sunday, August 09, 2009

To be blamed on those asshole American politicians!!
Do you think we could purchase one these and fix it up?...or do we have an issue with obtainng reno materials?
It would be great to own one and be able to go whenever you wanted and have aplace to stay.
It seems that in a socialist country like that, nobody but the government owns real estate.
When we bicycled across Cuba in '06 we saw a lot of beautiful but crumbling buildings. Maybe things will change under Raul.
