Cubans Face New Reality As Ties With U.S. Renewed After Years Under Strict Embargo

HAVANA, CUBA - JANUARY 27: Green beans are sold in bunches just a few meters away from where they were grown at El Japones urban garden and roadside vegetable shop in the Vedado district January 27, 2015 in Havana, Cuba. After serving as a police officer for 14 years, Barsaga helps to manage the tiny but successful farm, saying the job has less hassle than law enforcement and much better pay. Cuba has been pioneering new and better ways of growing, distributing and selling food from government and private urban gardens. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
