imageFor three decades the La Cubana bus has been shuttling its passengers between New York City and Miami, carrying them down I-95 toward relatives, jobs and dreams. “We carry all sorts of people: good people, bad people, all types,” said one of the bus’s drivers. “It’s life.” The New York Times offers a touching glimpse—through words and photos—inside what has become a microcosm of Latino culture.

i enjoy the channel very much. its educational,fun,and a definite chage from all this politics. i recently watched about wild china.i felt sympathy for the fishermen who had to ride their bikes out on the ice to fish for their families. too bad they dont have ice augers like the fishermen do in minnesota! keep the wonderful shows coming.it’s a long winter!
