A week in Cuba
Cuba is the emblem of the struggle between cultural identity and personal freedom. Can individual choice be submitted to restrictions to preserve national identity and local culture? Should multiculturalism be restricted to a defilé of tourists to allow money to pour down the veins of a country dependent on its own stereotype?
Some of these pictures have been taken by Laurette. Credits below

Santa Cruz de Mompox, Colombia (Part 1)
It took me at least 20 hours (maybe a bit more) to get from Cabo de la vela to Santa Cruz de Mompox, in the Bolivar Department of Colombia.
To arrive in this little colonial-style village - declared UNESCO World Heritage in 1995 - at the junction between Magdalena and Cauca rivers I had to travel two days no-stop, to change 7 times of vehicle, and to use 4 different means of transport (colectivo, taxi, motocycle and raft).

Gorée Island, Dakar, Senegal (part 1)
Goreé Island, with its tragic history and memories that justify it being a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, is probably the country's favorite and most famous tourist attraction.
One of the most frequently visited sites is the Maison des Esclaves (Slave House), a poignant reminder of Goreé's role as the center of West African slave trade.Built by the Dutch in 1776, the slave house has been preserved in its original state. Other points of interest include the Church, the picturesque ruins of Fort Nassau, Saint Michel (the Castle) and the Historical Museum in the old Fort Estrees. All the latter being historically noteworthy but aesthetically irrelevant, no picture of them is presented in this post.
For your information, the small swimming beach near the ferry slip has unfortunately been chosen by cats and dogs as sand pit, just in case you were thinking about laying on the beach rather than visiting the village...

Streets of... Valle de Leyva, Colombia
Villa de Leyva is one of the finest colonial villages of Colombia, located in a high altitude valley at 2,144 m altitude in the Boyacá Department.
It was declared a National Monument in December 17, 1954 to preserve its architecture, but the valley itself is worth such honor.
