One of the best travel memoirs I've read

I read travel memoirs and guidebooks as avidly as I read novels, and I have to say that The Handsomest Man in Cuba is one of the best travel memoirs I've read. I found the book at a bookstore in Kathmandu after trekking in Nepal, and reading it on the flight home to San Francisco almost made me want to divert the plane to Mexico so I could arrange a little jaunt to Cuba! Lynette paints a vivid, gorgeous picture of a country I've wanted to visit for years...although she certainly doesn't sugarcoat things. I felt as if I was there biking alongside her (and I can completely relate to her lack of sense of direction :). Also, Lynette is just a very good writer; unfortunately, not all authors of travel memoirs can write particularly well.
