More Cuba (before More Mexico)





Following our excursion to Sancti Spiritus, we returned to join Lilliety's family for a meal the day before leaving.  Lillietty surprised us with her new four year old daughter, and her now 6 ' tall son studying medicine.  It is a joy to stay in touch and find our connection and
history still makes us smile.

Lilliety has been pivotal in many of our adventures in Cuba, she is one of those people who we trust and know will distribute what we bring to others in need.  We hope she can read this in the coming months as she is studying hotel management and will have access to a computer soon, this is rare for most folks in Cuba at this time.

More Beauty in the Mountains near Trinidad, Cuba


Lynda and I enjoyed having a guide show us the trail this time....and what a gorgeous trail this time of year, abundant with colour, flowers, lizards, coffee beans, guava plants and raging waterfalls to swim beneath.

Pictures tell the story, revisiting Cuba

The gentle dancing man was at the Casa de la Trova in Trinidad. He remembered Ivan and is dancing with Lynda. 
I forgot how much I love the uninhibited approach to art, dance, music, theatre and movement.  Although Cuba once again faces adversity, their talent still shines through.
