I saw that saying on a postcard once – and it made me think of you! Here’s my own postcard that I took a photo of. We all piled into our little boat and headed away from the city. We…
They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To
Cuba is stuck in the 1950’s. That’s what I was told and have read. All of the old buildings are tired and run down and the old 1940s and ‘50s cars are famously, still around and used as taxis. There…
