Two Videos: Mission to Cuba and The Classic Cars of Cuba
Today's restoration of US diplomatic relations with Cuba brought back memories of my visit to Havana in March 2009.
Roz and I were two of the 25 Long Islanders on a government-approved mission to Cuba. During the five days of this adventure, I also documented the classic American cars still operating on the streets of Havana.
Here are the two videos that I created from this amazing trip.
Enjoy,

Mission to Cuba
In March 2009, 25 Long Islanders went on a government-approved mission to explore the Jewish community in Cuba. This nine-minute film captures photo highlights of this mission including views of Havana, the three major synagogues, a Jewish cemetery founded in 1906, and the Cuban people.

Howard: Another great presentation by and most enjoyable !!!!!!
Cheers and Best !!!! Cordially, Ron
That was great! Old American cars everywhere and mostly rust-free!
enough allready with the embargo! when Fidel showed his devil horns we should of sent the marines in,saying he is worse than the guy he replaced. But Eisenhower put a sugar embargo inviting Russia to influence Castro. this should of been done years before Bay Of Pigs when Castro was not established with his secret police, etc. It would of been easy, right and Just.
Hi Howard. Great video content as always. A few years ago here in the UK, the monthly magazine Practical Classics was assisting David Soult o help restore Ernest Hemingway’s Chrysler that is kept at the Hemingway Museum in Cuba David was making a film called Cuban Soul produced by Red Earth Studios but events such as Covid and then David’s death seem to have put paid to the enterprise. A few snippets and trailers on YouTube Tube but, hopefully, there’s been a happier outcome for Hemmingway’s car.
