Let's start with a little disclaimer: we are not telling you to do any of these things.  Some suggestions are foolhardy, illegal, or just plain dumb.  We've tried to compile an informal guide for your trip, which consists of materials not covered in the course packets or in the university's documentation.  We hope this will help you decide whether or not a study abroad program in Cuba is your type of thing or not.  If it is, this guide will prove invaluable for your future travels… we hope.  Feel free to email us with questions.  We are, after all, veterans of the course.  Any images with thin blue frames (like the one on the left) can be clicked on for a closer look.  The six guide sections follow:

All the blue-framed thumbnails (like this one) are clickable... So take a closer look at the Cathedral of San Cristóbal de  La Habana, built in 1748.
