La Havana, La Havana (Image on right) La Havana the third largest metropolitan city in the Caribbean is the larges city in Cuba. It is the major port of all of Cuba's shipping and receiving. It is a wonderful city to spend the day in to learn about the rich history and culture of the country. Its architecture has a very European feel and Havana has a lot of unique monuments.
	Jagüey Grande, Matanzas (Image on left) Jagüey Grande is a city that has captured my heart; more for its people than for the city itself. It is a small city (but relatively large for Cuba). It has a baseball stadium where the people love to spend their free time watching games. There is also a plaza where people pass time together and can even spend the whole day talking. Time is different here; it is really relaxed and rarely punctual. At night on the weekends everybody goes dancing at the clubs.
La Playa Girón, Matanzas (Image on right) La Playa Girón is a city located on the southern coast of Cuba. It is know for two main things; having one of the largest swamps in the world and the Bay of Pigs. It is a beautiful place to lay on the soft sandy beaches all day and watch the turquoise waves come in. There is also a small museum here about the Bay of Pigs and the Cold War.
