That's what enticed Louis Reilly, who had heard all sorts of things about Cuba and wanted to make up his own mind. "I've been curious about the culture for years," says Reilly, a retired lawyer who celebrated his 70th birthday in Pinar del Rio, a city about 80 miles southwest of Havana. "The fact that it was out of bounds to American travelers whetted my appetite. The warmth of the people, their music and their pride in achievement disabused me of any preconceived notions I may have had. I'd encourage people of all ages to visit...
