A central figure of the 20th century - it would've been remarkable to be a fly on the wall for some of this man's life experiences.

I went to Cuba earlier this year. It felt like a new era was upon the island. This just solidifies that.

Looking back, it will be crazy to think, I went to Cuba while Fidel Castro was still alive.

Castro's death changes nothing, he has been away from leading Cuba and decision making for about 8 years. The current president (his own brother) has his very same ideals
