So we've been in Havana for about 3 days now and it's a completely different world! Last week of placement in Toronto was great, sad to go but we were really excited about our week in Cuba, so it went really quickly - the flight here was only 3 hours so I can see why so many Canadians h…

From north to south, Havana to Santiago de Cuba, amidst the decaying buildings, propagandizing billboards and food stores with empty shelves there is one thing in Cuba which are always in full supply: Jineterismos! Everywhere you go in Cuba, you'll see Western men, laden with shopping bags an…

Cuba

wow! what a gong show! this trip started out with me and a buddy going to thailand. he bailed on me, so then it was a girlfriend of mine and i were going to go to mexico. she bailed. then it was going to be a mother/daughter trip with my mom and sister. my sister couldn't go and my dad was hurt that he wasn't invited. therefore, it became the trip with my parents...and my future boyfriend!
