I arrived on May 27 to the José Marti national Airport as always. Noticeable the moment I walked out of the airport was the lack of old American cars. I did not see an American car in the parking lot, where were they?

Donde estas el Crystal reflects the June 2019 atmosphere in Havana with the withdraw of US tourism and other measures by the Trump administration to eliminate opening of the US - Cuban relations during the Obama administration.
