Intrepid Journeys - Cuba (Kim Hill)

Radio veteran Kim Hill finds herself among the politics, cigar smoke and dancing of Cuba, in this episode of the long-running travel show. During a 15-day visit, a series of seemingly random encounters take her off the beaten track to Hoodoo ceremonies, the Bay of Pigs and the sad spectacle of Guantanamo Bay. Hill conveys a textured perspective on life in Castro's Republic; she calls it "a strange mixture of Soviet style communism and Latin American hedonism". 

It's such a perverse thing. There it is. Two mortal enemies, one of them sitting on the other one's land; and there's nothing that Cuba can do about it.
