VIVE Y SE FELIZ!
ALGO RECONFORTANTE.
El Instituto Francés de la Ansiedad y el Stress, en París, definió veinte reglas de vida que dicen los expertos que, si uno consigue asimilar diez, puede tener una buena calidad de vida.
1. HAGA una pausa de mínima de 5 a 10 minutos por cada 2 horas de trabajo, a lo máximo. Repita estas pausas en su vida diaria y piense en usted, analizando sus actitudes.
2. APRENDA a DECIR NO, sin sentirse culpable, o creer que lastima a alguien. Querer agradar a todos es un desgaste enorme.
3. PLANEE su día, pero deje siempre un buen espacio para cualquier imprevisto, consciente de que no todo depende de usted.
4. CONCÉNTRESE en apenas una tarea a la vez. Por mas ágil que sean sus cuadros mentales, usted se cansa.
5. OLVÍDESE de una vez por todas de que usted es indispensable en su trabajo, su casa o su grupo habitual. Por más que eso le desagrade, todo camina sin su actuación, salvo usted mismo.
6. DEJE de sentirse responsable por el placer de los otros. Usted no es fuente de los deseos, ni el eterno maestro de ceremonia.
7. PIDA AYUDA siempre que sea necesario, teniendo el buen sentido de pedírsela a las personas correctas.
8. SEPARE los problemas reales de los imaginarios y elimínelos, porque son pérdida de tiempo y ocupan un espacio mental precioso para cosas más importantes.
9. INTENTE descubrir el placer de cosas cotidianas como dormir, comer y pasear, sin creer que es lo máximo que puede conseguir en la vida.
10. EVITE envolverse en ansiedades y tensiones ajenas, en lo que se refiere a ansiedad y tensión. Espere un poco y después retorne al diálogo y a la acción.
11. SU FAMILIA NO es usted, está junto a usted, compone su mundo, pero no es su propia identidad.
12. ES NECESARIO tener siempre a alguien a quien le pueda confiar y hablar abiertamente. No sirve de nada si está lejos.
13. CONOZCA la hora acertada de salir de una cena, levantarse del palco y dejar una reunión. Nunca pierda el sentido de la importancia sutil de salir la hora correcta.
14. NO QUIERA saber si hablaron mal de usted, ni se atormente con esa basura mental. Escuche lo que hablaron bien de usted, con reserva analítica, sin creérselo todo.
15. La RIGIDEZ es buena en las piedras pero no en los seres humanos.
16. Una hora de INMENSO PLACER sustituye, con tranquilidad, tres horas de sueño perdido. El placer recompensa más que el sueño. Por eso, no deje pasar una buena oportunidad de divertirse.
17. NO ABANDONE sus tres grandes e invaluables amigas. Intuición, Inocencia y Fe.
....Usted
ES LO QUE USTED HAGA de USTED MISMO.
Piense... Reflexione... Practique...
COMO PROLONGAR LA VIDA
Elimina de tu vida los números que no son esenciales. Esto incluye, edad, peso y altura. Deja que tu médico se preocupe por ellos. Para eso le pagas.
Mantén amistades alegres.
Los gruñones te bajan el ánimo.
Intente aprendiendo cosas nuevas. Aprende más sobre computadoras, manuales, jardinería, lo que sea.
Nunca permitas que tu cerebro sea holgazán.
Un cerebro holgazán es la morada del demonio.
Y el nombre de ese demonio es Alzheimer.
Disfruta de las cosas simples.
Ríe más a menudo, fuerte y por largo tiempo. Ríe hasta que te quedes sin aire.
Las lágrimas son naturales. Súfrelo, laméntalo y luego sigue adelante.
La única persona que estará contigo toda la vida, eres tu mismo.
Rodéate de cosas que amas, ya sea la familia, mascotas, música, plantas, pasatiempos, lo que sea.
Tu casa es tu refugio.
Celebra y disfruta de tu salud: si es buena, mantenla así. Y si es inestable, mejórala. Y si no está en tus manos mejorarla, busca ayuda.
No te enrolles en un viaje de culpabilidad. Tómate un viaje a otro país, al centro comercial o a otro pueblo cercano, pero NO a donde te lleve la culpa.
A las personas que amas, DÍSELO en cada oportunidad que tengas.
Y SIEMPRE RECUERDA: La vida no se mide por los descansos que tomamos, sino por los momentos que te roban el aliento.
VIVE Y SE FELIZ!
Además da gracias siempre por lo que la vida te ha brindado y no te enojes tanto por lo que no te ha dado!!!

4 exciting places to visit in cuba
Are you visiting Cuba soon and would like to know what are the best places to visit in Cuba?
No matter how much you prepare yourself for a trip to Cuba, you’re still blown away when you first arrive.
The life, the colour, the music…it’s all here – a pulsing, heartbeat that sweeps you up and carries you off in its bohemian salsa tempo. The personality of this fascinating country is magnetic, infectious and impossible to say no to.
Most interestingly, this incredible vibrancy is everywhere you visit in Cuba.
Every town and village we visited, the countryside, the city, this vitality is woven into the very fabric of what makes Cuba.
This isn’t to say there aren’t problems here or that everywhere is just the same. Not at all.
Travel in Cuba can be tricky.
Public transport is virtually non-existent, hitching is not recommended and if you’ve only really driven in places like the UK, Australia, and North America, self-drive isn’t a great option either.
There are some amazing small-group tour companies like Cuban Adventures that really deliver and make sure you’re safe. And more importantly, that you’re not wasting valuable travel time waiting for a bus that’s gone MIA.
Of course, there is crime here too, but most of the time the street scams you can see coming a mile off.
It’s really just people trying to get by, as poverty is still an issue in Cuba. Generally speaking, locals are incredibly friendly and will want to talk to you.
As far as destinations go, there is just so much to see and do in Cuba, a culture-rich country.
Every little town and every big city in Cuba has its own unique feel and its own specific history. And while there are places we’d recommend avoiding in Cuba, there are some amazing places you shouldn’t miss for anything.
Planning to travel soon? Let us help you know what to do and when. Our pre-departure checklists will arrive in your inbox at the right stage of the travel planning journey and tell you what to take care of. They’re free.

4 PLACES TO VISIT IN CUBA
Ok, let’s talk about what to see in Cuba and what are the best Cuba attractions.
1. Havana
If you don’t come to Havana when you visit Cuba, you’re doing this country an injustice.
Havana is one of the most wonderful cities we’ve ever visited. And by that, I don’t mean ‘oh isn’t this wonderful, darling’. Havana really is full of wonder and one of the best things to do in Cuba.
From the crumbling buildings to its curious narrow streets brimming with life and ingenuity, Havana is Cuba’s capital for a reason. Here you get the perfect screenshot of a culture the rest of the world has pretty much ignored for so many years.
Our best advice is to take a walking tour through the city. You’ll hear some of the amazing history and culture that’s alive here and discover elements you’d miss if you weren’t told about them.
Things to see in Havana, Cuba:
• El Capitolio – National Capitol Building
• Rooftop bar of Hotel Ambos Mundos
• The Malecón – esplanade and sea wall
• Almacenes San Jose market
• The Cathedral Havana (plus square of the houses of the 4 richest families in Cuba)
• Plus if you have time, visit the castle – Castillo el Morro – the other side of the harbour. It’s full of history and a real icon of the city.
2. Viñales
A tiny town with a huge influence over the rest of the country, Vinales is where the very best tobacco is grown for the biggest cigar brands. Cohiba, Montecristo, Cuaba – they all use the leaves grown in this valley.
From the mountains surrounding it to the little dance club behind the main square, Viñalesepitomises regional Cuban life.
Things to see in Viñales, Cuba:
• Cuban dance club
• Hike through tobacco fields
• Organic farm
• Lunch at El Olivo Restaurant
• People-watching from anywhere you can!
3. Cienfuegos
About an hour and a half west along the coast from the Bay of Pigs, this harbourside town is full of art, culture and history. Cienfuegos is known as the Pearl of the South thanks to its beautiful bay – Bahia de Jagua.
There’s plenty to do here – even if it’s just strolling around the town’s streets.
The locals seem the most westernised and the city itself has a much more European feel to it. This is thanks to the strong French influence in town’s customs and architecture.
Other Cubans say the people from Cienfuegos are the most beautiful and the most cultured.
Things to see in Cienfuegos, Cuba:
• Have dinner in El Tranvia
• Plaza de Armas and the monument to the Cuban hero José Martí
• The art galleries around the Plaza de Armas
• The Arch de Triumph in Jose José Martí Park – the last remaining in the country
• The Bahia de Jagua – the bay that makes Cienfuegos the Pearl of the South
4. Trinidad
Apart from Havana, Trinidad has to be the most historic city in Cuba.
Similar to Havana, the Old Town section here is UNESCO heritage listed (as a World Monument), but unlike Havana, this part of town is only accessible on foot or horseback. Carts are also allowed and commonly seen.
The narrow cobbled streets and the low, leaning, brightly coloured houses are iconic to this city. Trinidad is a place of unrivalled beauty in this country already well represented in the photogenic stakes.
Things to do in Trinidad, Cuba:
• Roam the cobbled streets of Old Town
• Visit the Museo Romántico opposite the Plaza Mayor. The view out over the city is worth the entrance fee.
• Visit the other important buildings like the Holy Trinity Church and Plaza de Santa Ana and the Royal Jail built in 1844.
• Casa de la Musica – bar and square for drinks in the day and music and dancing at night
• Stroll through the street markets
• Visit Playa Ancon beach at sunset
• Disco Ayalu – a nightclub in a huge cave!
Caibarién
Caibarién is a small town at the northern coast of the Villa Clara province. It is focused on fishing (including crayfish), but nowadays the near tourist resorts are the most important and favourite employers. The large park is the heart of the ample centre. In addition, also the long Malecón (boardwalk) and the small beach are worth a visit. The most important reason to look for an accomodation in Caibarién however is the proximity to the small islands Cayo Las Brujas and Cayo Santa María. Both islands are connected tot he mainland by an embankment and dispose of extraordinarily beautiful beaches with finest white sand and crystal clear water – ideal for snorkeling and diving.
In the city
- Caibarién is a small calm town which does not bother tourists, nobody wants to sell you something or will ask for an elevated price. This pleasant ambience can be enjoyed in the p ark or in a café – certainly you also find someone to talk to if you want.
- Strolling along the Malecón (the boardwalk), watching the fishermen or having a look at their catch is also a must. In the bay the young people do sailing exercises – a nice view with numerous boats crossing the bay. On the Malecón small restaurants or bars invite you to drink something with music in the background.
- If you don't want to go every day to the islands for a swim, you can content yourself with the small local beach of Caibarién . The beach is tidy, the water calm, palm trees offer shadow. A small bar helps to overcome thirst and
hunger. In summer the beach becomes the bathtub of Caibarién – tourists are rare. You get from the centre to the beach by horse-drawn carriage for 2 Pesos (park – hospital and hospital – beach each 1 Peso). A velotaxi takes you for 10 Pesos to the beach (each way). The guesthouse from Virginia and Osmany lies at about half way between beach and centre, both are within walking distance or by horse-drawn carriage (1 Peso)

Conservation of Varied Ecosystems
Well preserved ecosystems, variegated landscapes and a vast array of flora and fauna make Cuba an exceptional Caribbean destination for nature lovers.
Four per cent of the world’s land species live on the Cuban archipelago. It is home to some 6,700 species of higher plants (about half of which are native) as well as 14,000 species of invertebrates and 650 vertebrates—including 350 bird species. Among Cuba’s countless gems are the world’s smallest frog (Eleutherodactylus limbatus, only 12 millimetres long) and tiniest bird (Mellisuga helenae—the bee hummingbird, some 63 millimetres long).
Roaming through the country, visitors will find lush tropical forests, where rare orchids grow; dry mountainous areas, where prehistoric cacti still live; everglades populated by mangrove,manatee and flamingoes; wetlands harbouring speciesimportant tobiotechnology;and hummocks that guard fossillized plants such as the cork palm(Microcycascalocoma).

El valle de Viñales. Pinar del Rio.
El occidente cubano, espacio ideal para el turismo de naturaleza, cuenta entre sus atractivos con el Valle de Viñales, incluido en la lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO.
Con 132 kilómetros cuadrados de extensión, es además el exponente más destacado de los valles cársicos de la mayor de Las Antillas, rodeado de esas singulares elevaciones de cimas redondeadas y formas atípicas llamadas mogotes.
Una de esas formaciones de mayor fama lleva por nombre Dos Hermanas y atrae a los visitantes gracias a uno de los mayores murales de la prehistoria a cielo abierto del orbe.
La obra, con 120 metros de alto y 180 de ancho en la ladera de la mencionada elevación, lleva por nombre el de Mural de la Prehistoria y constituye una representación singular de la evolución biológica de la Sierra de los Órganos, todo ello en la occidental provincia de Pinar del Río.
Unido a ello, el territorio del valle cuenta con el interesante aporte de numerosos sistemas cavernarios, donde destacan las cuevas del indio -atravesada por el Río San Vicente-, de José Miguel y el sistema de Santo Tomás, este último calificado entre los más extensos de América Latina, con más de 45 kilómetros de galerías.
El desarrollo socio-histórico de la región contiene elementos y sitios característicos de la cultura del pueblo cubano -con antecedentes aborígenes, esclavos y campesinos-, todo ello moldeado en las características únicas de ese paisaje natural.
