A Bit More About Cuba

Currently the food shortages resemble what was seen 50 years ago. Long lines and not very many choices. Eduardo hunts for flour and powdered milk and they can really only be found on the black market. He paid around $12 USD for a pound of flour. About 1/3 of the monthly salary for most Cubans

In the last year over 250,000 Cubans have left Havana. The largest and fastest exodus in Cuba’s history is happening right now. Most of this leaves me speachless and heart broken. But life in Cuba goes on, there are good things and bad things. There are so many things to be spoken of it’s hard to even know where to start. Many years ago, my friend Tony said, “trying to understand Cuba will make you crazy.”

For now, the best way I know to support the Cuban people is to continue telling their story. To share their beauty, and heartfelt warmth that I experience. To make sure the world knows they are there! They are struggling, and they are striving for change. I always feel honored to introduce people to Havana, and the Cuban people. Cuba has changed my life and I believe that it’s an experience of a life time.
