CUBA
Almost a week ago we returned from a week spent in Cuba with the Oberlin Alumni Association. I wish I'd been feeling more hale and hearty for it but I came down with a cold early on which has now settled in my chest since returning home. Ugh. Still the trip was great. We saw many things, people and places. Drank ample mojitos and ate generous portions of Cuban food.
This was our farewell dinner at the San Cristobal Paladar.
This is where Papa Hemmingway slept in Cuba-- the very bed. Imagine.
This was outside a house of Santeria, and one of my favorite pictures from the trip. Scary!!
This was from inside a house of Santeria. Many shrines and devotional objects.
I hope the U.S. can finally lift the embargo we've had against Cuba and start doing business with the government and the people of Cuba. It's about time. It's really silliness not to.
