Tuesday began with an emotional goodbye to our host families in Cienfuegos. Last evenings meal in both of our houses was AMAZING!!!! Both homes made a traditional Cuban New Years Eve dinner. We received quite a send off.
This morning we were picked up early, (at 8am ) and we were off to begin our bus ride to Havana! One hour into the trip we stopped at Punta Perdiz to swim and go snorkeling! The water was the most beautiful turquoise and you could see multitudes of different tropical fish, coral and other beautiful sea life.
After snorkeling we had a delecious meal on the terrace of Hostel Enrique. The wonderful food was complimented by the beautiful and refreshing breeze. After our meal we continued our journey to Havana with a brief stop to buy souviners.
The time spent on the bus went quickly because we had very good discussions relelated to the essential question of the day and also about the projects that the trip to Cuba has inspired us to create. Also the ever changing view from our windows were breathtaking.
At around 5:30pm we entered Havana! When we passed through the tunnel and took our fist look the city, everyone on the bus gasped together at Havana’s beauty.
It was at that time that Suzanne was welcomed into our group.
About one hour later we all had dinner at a resturant called Cimarron, where we ate, enjoyed each other’s company and listened to fantastic music.
We are all looking forward to continuing our Havana adventures tomorrow!
