#atozchallenge: N is for National Hotel
Just wanted to say this again to my visitors. I'm not replying on my blog during the #atozChallenge, but I do read every one of your comments. Sometimes, if you have a reply email, I answer questions or continue the discussion. I love questions, and I love it when someone adds to the information on the post.
Here's to a great AtoZ!
Join in the FUN.
This year I traveled to Cuba. You know, it's that little island that's spitting distance from Florida and should not be visited without special dispensation. I wanted to see it before MacDonald's arrived. I'm so glad I did. I learned a lot and I met some wonderful people. It seems they like us. Now there's a change!
I'll add a short T/F quiz to each post the same as I did last year about Burma, and I'll post the answers to the questions the following day.
There was no quiz for M. Yay! So here are a couple of pictures that sum up the atmosphere of Cuba.
Anyone needing food can pick up a two week supply with their coupons.
These nifty fifty cars are everywhere. It was like stepping back five decades.
N is for National Hotel
The Lobby's not too shabby.
This is behind the hotel at dusk. Sorry bad picture.
The National Hotel is where anybody who's important stays. I didn't stay there. Draw your own conclusions. But it is a beautiful place to wander the grounds and roam the areas the rich and famous have frequented. Here are some of the pictures I took that day while pretending to be among the elite group. Just kidding.
There is one room with walls of posters. Each one has images of celebrities who stayed or performed here, and each poster covers a decade.
Your T/F Quiz for N:
These were notable guests at the National Hotel in sixties: Johnny Weismuller, Edward VIII, Jack Dempsey, Tom Mix, José Mujica, Buster Keaton, Errol Flynn, and the mobsters Santos Traficante and Meyer Lansky.
