CUBA

[BLACK BEAUTY]

Jane and I took a weeks trip (VERY expensive) with the National Oceanic Society to Cuba and visited the Garden of the Queen aboard a live aboard boat. This snorkel and dive will probably be our last one. Sadly, the coral was mostly dead, but we did see a 500+ pound grouper. Cuba does not allow guns except for the police. VERY backward country..glad to be home..

It sounds like it was a very nice trip, Greg! Too bad about the coral though. I was unfamiliar with Gardens of the Queen, so here is some information.

I was born in Cuba, we left the island when I was 11 years old back in the early 70s and never been back so don't remember much.
