Baker National Geographic Motorcycling through Castro's Cuba, published by National Geographic Society, First Edition, First Printing 2001 Color Illustrations Size 9.5" x 6.5" x 1", weight 21 oz, 304 pages Very Good FINE pre-owned condition. Equally at home on the elegant avenídas of Havana and the washboard trails of the Cuban countryside, Christopher P. Baker's 1000cc BMW Paris-Dakar was as much a state of mind as a form of transportation. Gaudy and gargantuan, the lipstick-red motorcycle attracted attention, sparked conversation, and made new friends for Baker throughout his freewheeling, 7,000-mile peregrination of modern Cuba. After three months astride his powerful moto, Baker brings back a vivid report that is a savory and surprising blend of romantic adventures, keen observation, and clear-eyed commentary. Introducing a remarkable cross section of Cubans from farmers and fishermen cosmopolitan habaneros chafing under Castro's faltering rule, Baker captures the vivacious national spirit that has beguiled visitors for centuries. **** If you’re new to Poshmark - Welcome!
