You're American and  there are pictures on your site from Cuba.  Isn't it illegal for Americans to visit Cuba?
Due to the Cuban Embargo set forth by the United States government, it is illegal for US Citizens to visit Cuba.

 

When I went to Cuba in 2000, it was under special circumstances through a Study Abroad program set forth by my university and approved by the United States Department of the Treasury and US State Department.

 

Since that time, more restrictions exist.  GetOutTheMap.net STRONGLY DISCOURAGES unauthorized travel to any place on Earth that is forbidden by your government, regardless of how tempting.

 

For more information, please contact the US State Department at www.state.gov.
