We just got back from Cuba. It was a week spent relaxing, drinking endless Cuba Libres and reading in Resortland. But we also got away from Resortland most of the days and explored Cuba, and its beautiful people. The best part of traveling, in my opinion. Here are some faces—most of them candid—of Cuba. Some of the shots are from Havana, from Varadero, and from the side of the road somewhere in between. Some are musicians, some are cigar salespeople, some are street people. All of them tell stories with their faces. Anyway, here’s the first set of photos from our Cuba trip. Here are the Faces of Cuba.
