I don't know how to tell about Cuba, so I won't. On the next pages there are images of two weeks in August without comments and - for the first time - without any particular order. If there is one sentence able to unite all the impressions of these two weeks, then this is it:

The map is A Map of the British Empire in America with the French and Spanish Settlements adjacent thereto (Sheet 14) by Henry Popple. It was published in 1733 in London by Willm. Henry Toms & R.W. Seale.

Cuba sits in the middle of this uncoloured section which also includes the very tips of the Yucatan Peninsula, the southernmost parts of Florida (without the Keys), and the Bahama Islands. Jamaica is entirely surrounded by place names.
