| José Martí International Airport |
When entering the La Habana airport my first
impression was to be teleported from the Miami airport, less than one-hour
flight away, to a place several decades away. The modernist yet decadent, red
panel roof spoke of a past splendor, reminiscent of a James Bond movie from the
sixties. The time travel sensation expanded to a feeling of being in surreal
world when arriving to La Habana. The fast taxis fleeting in no traffic roads
transitioned from the airport to the city of Habana passing by Plaza de la Revolucion,
where monumental celebrations of the effigies of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro
are visible from a great distance. Then meet the grand splendid captivating
almost hypnotic decadence of La Habana, absorbed by any type of blasting Latin
sound.
I welcome 2019 as the year of the enlightened warrior!
