Thanks to President Obama's loosening of certain policies, there is now somewhere around $1.5 billion in remittances sent each year to Cuba from family members (about 80% in the U.S.) and U.S. citizens are now free to visit their relatives in Cuba. When they go, they bring as much stuff with them as possible! This picture is typical of one person's packages. Along with a flat screen TV and a laptop.
Most private businesses in Cuba are started using money from relatives in the U.S. who also bring materials and supplies. We had a nice dinner off of new Fiesta-Ware at one of the Paladares (private restaurants).
