I've always imagined Cuba would be more like how I imagine Haiti...poverty everywhere...but beauty there for the taking if one pays attention. Lovely descriptive detail.

One of my friends was telling me about how she burst into tears during her first trip to the grocery store after returning home. She just couldn't get over all our options and choices. How much food was here when so many have none. We aree VERY blessed here.

Travelling as two white females they got a lot of attention from the male population who they often ended up inviting for drinks and dinners. This was a fine balancing act between feeling taken advantage of and sharing their own plentiful with these men who were quite poor yet proud and respectful. As always you take us right there with you on your journey, in your usual thoughtful and articulate manner, thank you!
