  • A Cuban sandwich -- ham, slow roasted pork, swiss cheese, mustard, pickles, cilantro aioli on Cuban Bread -- photographed at a restaurant in Miami, Florida. - Underpinning Miami, Florida, is sixty years of Castroism in Cuba: the island's diaspora has transformed the city into a towering skyline, where smells of fried "croquetas" and sounds of Spanish fill the air. Just 367 kilometers apart, at the turn of the 20th century Havana and Miami were already closely connected by trade and tourism. But 1959, upon the triumph of Fidel Castro's revolution, saw an end to that -- and the Cuban diaspora was born. "We were losing everything our family had worked for for years, we couldn't accept it," said 78-year-old Johnny Lopez de la Cruz, a member of the 2506 Brigade, a group of CIA-sponsored Cuban exiles who tried to invade Cuba's Bay of Pigs in 1961.

  • NEW YORK CITY - NOVEMBER 08: A Virgin Atlantic airliner, one of the first international flights to arrive since the U.S. lifted pandemic travel restrictions that have barred most international travelers since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, makes its approach into JFK Airport on November 08, 2021 in New York City. The former rules had barred entry to visitors from 33 countries, including the U.K., South Africa, Brazil and much of Europe. Travelers will have to show proof of vaccination, as well as a recent negative Covid-19 test, though there are exemptions. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
