Little Havana
Even within one city, microcultures permeate and coexist alongside each other, block by block. It was fascinating today to learn a little bit about Cuban history in Little Havana, a neighborhood extremely different than South Beach. On Calle Ocho, despite the fair amount of tourism, friendly people greet one another, looking to enjoy good food and refreshing libations while participating in the joyful live music. Here people just want to live life, slowly but with flavor. Such places are always a refreshing reminder for me, that we are here on this Earth to love, and to enjoy.
