Cruising Highways into Cuba, back to the Balkans, and through Sri Lanka by Jane M. Newby

Cruising Highways into Cuba, back to the Balkans, and through Sri Lanka are accounts of the author's travels to three very different, fascinating, and seldom-visited places in the world. Down highways and through villages, cities, and countryside, she explores the history, architecture, music, art, and food of sensuous, lively Cuba (and its troubled relations with America); and Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Romania, their people, history, customs (and complicated relations with each other) and through the resplendent island of Sri Lanka, with the "nicest" people in the world still at odds with each other.
