Not too much time to post because this weekend is CRAZY busy! But I'll fill you all in as much as possible...
The past couple days have been a little rough. Feeling a little homesick, but finally starting to adjust to the food here. To combat my homesick feeling, I ate an entire package of pringles ($5 well spent!) and watched three hours of "Alaska: the last frontier" because it was the only english channel besides the news. Feeling much better today and it finally stopped raining, so all is well.
In just a few minutes I will be running off to go rumba dancing! There is a Cuban artist who essentially took over the street he lives in and painted all over and created a functional gallery. They are shutting down the entire street and having rumba musicians and dancing there starting at noon. I'm super excited because it's one of the few dances that I remember from Hazel's attempts to teach me! :)
I am also starting a project that I'm still not exactly sure how I got roped into. Our translator is trying to put together an english language website all about tourism in Cuba. She is going to be stopping by our hotel sometime this afternoon to talk about it. Should be interesting, and if nothing else I will absolutely provide her with all my pictures from the trip.
Photography is going well. I already have at least 5 images that I will use in my final portfolio. It's definitely a challenge and you start to look at the world in a completely different way. I'm learning something new every day and becoming so much more observant. To all those who will be at Linda's wedding in June, I'll bring my laptop because I don't think I'll be able to get anything online before then!
Off to go dancing under the unusually blue Cuban sky...
