HAVANA, CUBA

By Leave a Comment

A People-to-People Cultural Experience By Terri Hirsch, Havana is the capital and largest city of Cuba, located just 90 miles from Key West, Florida. The only cars that Cuban citizens can own legally are cars created and bought before 1959. Dance is very important in Cuba, the birthplace of classic dance styles like the Bolero, Mambo and Cha Cha. In Havana you can find monuments, forts, churches, palaces and fortresses, alleys and tunnels. My first impression upon arriving in the Havana Harbor was the historic Plaza de San Francisco de Asis, created in the 16th century when Spanish galleons stopped by at the harbor on their passage to the Indies through Spain. Imagine driving down the Malecon, the avenue that runs along the seawall on the northern shore of Old Havana, in a vintage … [Continue reading...]

Earth Day Special…

By Leave a Comment

Who Discovered Earth Asking who discovered the Earth may seem like a silly question—but it isn’t. After all, what is there to discover, if the very first humans lived on the planet anyway? But while this is the case, it took some time before people actually recognized the Earth, the fourth one from the Sun in the Solar System and the only one known to have existing life, is a planet. This makes sense considering the various theories regarding the status of the Earth. Before the claims of Nicolas Copernicus and the observations of Galileo Galilee, people believed that Earth is the center of the Solar System. This belief was pushed by Claudius Ptolemaeus, also known as Ptolemy. Ptolemy believed that the stars and the other planets orbited the Earth. Since the five classical planets were … [Continue reading...]

The Orchid Show celebrates its 15th year at The New York Botanical Garden with an homage to the wealth of orchids and rich cultural history of Thailand.

Native and hybrid orchids alike have become synonymous with the nation. This year’s exhibition in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory will feature an astonishing array of blooming orchids in a lush tropical garden, including a rainbow of vanda orchids, whose large patterned blooms are widely popular in Thai gardens and homes. The show culminates in a jaw-dropping scene of a large arched façade in the style of a traditional Thai pavilion—festooned with hundreds of exquisite orchids. … [Continue reading...]
