People have told me there's lots of 1950s architecture and decor in hotels, restaurants, and buildings. And there's the old Trader Vic's, which was restored.

There was a great post in the old Yahoo Tiki Central from someone who went to Cuba and visited at least one Tiki Bar. There were a bunch of photos, and the whole place looked amazing. A country frozen in time, to coin a cliche. Unfortunately those posts have been zapped from Tiki Central Yahoo.

Check out the DVD "I am Cuba" for some astonishingly well-shot footage of an early Cuban Tiki bar.

And lets not even begin to discuss the cigars wrapped on thighs of Cuban virgins....
Hope you make it Jab!
