Reply to comment by Colt1911-45 in Went to Kuba Kuba and a homie spotted me. 😅 by Reasonable-Newt-8102

There is a US Embassy in Cuba. The US has a diplomatic relationship with Cuba. The embargo limits US citizens and businesses from trading with Cuba.

I agree with your sentiment. I would not willingly travel to country where the US does not have an embassy.

That said, Cuba is a interesting place to visit. The people I met were very friendly, and I almost always felt safe. I encourage others to visit and see a different way of life.

I just watched a video about visiting Havana the other day. I love the architecture and seeing all those old American cars still driving. The commentator said a lot of Canadians visit. He was mostly walking down regular streets showing where the average resident shops and lives, not the touristy areas.

In Havana, we stayed in a house with regular folks near the Colon Cemetery in Vedado. We had fantastic meal in a neighbors garage/restaurant. We did have the chance to ride in an old Chevy, and an 80s Lada. Most of our trips were in more recent Chinese-made car.
