Geoffrey welcomes us to Cuba at Havana’s Malecón esplanade, explaining that he has come to explore the colorful history, varied architecture, and rich culture of a place off-limits to most Americans for decades – to “witness the evolution of an old city that’s trying to find its place in the modern world.” Will he discover the real Cuba?
