Cuban Photos

Cuba – Day 8 – Endings

We’re leaving today… but not yet. First there is packing and reflecting before a long goodbye. Packing is easy.  We have much less to take home than we brought.  All the gifts and Sunday school materials and the sweets and toothbrushes have been replaced by Havana Club, cigars and Che Guevara t-shirts.
