My Trip to Cuba

corner

June, 1999

While still in Havana, Antonio and I had several talks about the way the trip was going. One of the things we would discuss was how we would answer the question "How was your vacation in Cuba?" There seemed to be no way to give a simple answer. In time, I have been able to add some context to my experiences and am now able to answer that my trip to Cuba was an incredible learning experience.
