Little Havana in Miami is a jewel of a community filled with soul. From the food to the music; from the drink to the desserts, this is a unique cultural icon.
The first picture in this gallery is of Cuba at sunrise. I took it from a ship; but I’m getting ahead of the story. That part is yet to come.

From Amazon:
“Every so often along comes a book that seizes you by the collar and arrests you on the spot. From page one, LEAVING LITTLE HAVANA is a brilliant, voice-driven book that will make your heart skip a few beats. My experience reading this book was similar to the first time I read The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros when you instantly know you are reading a classic, a story so achingly beautiful and unforgettable you relish every last word as if it were the buzzing of a hummingbird at your lips feeding you honey. This book is about family, about what happens to family in exile, about how people come into a great world of struggle and manage to get by and survive. The author has a great gift for capturing that world-known enclave of Miami we love and call Little Havana. This might be the book that puts it on the literary map for good and forever.”—Virgil Suárez
