Armandito's: Hospitality on a Cuban Farm
April 10, 2015
One of my fondest memories of bicycle travel came on a humble farm in Cuba. It is hard to believe it has been over 15 years that we were invited to stay with Armandito and his family.
We spent three months pedaling the island nation back in 1998. As more travel opportunities open up for Americans to travel in Cuba, I highly recommend experiencing this beautiful country from the seat of a bicycle.
To hear the story, give a listen to the commentary below that originally aired on public radio station KUOW in Seattle.
