Our hotel at nightHi everyone!
So I've arrived in Cuba safely. It's been a very busy weekend and lots of so super fun times! Tomorrow we start our Spanish class at the University of Havana. I've found that my Spanish skills have been very helpful in speaking to the Cubans, but their Spanish is very different than mine and I've had some trouble understanding them.
Cuba is beautiful and strange and very exciting. Our hotel is right on the Malecón, the sea wall that runs along the Northern edge of the city. While lying in bed I can see the ocean and it's wonderful! The weather has been very cold (for Cubans anyway, I think it's great!) so the ocean has been pretty choppy and dark and crashing over the wall and onto the highway that runs along it. Today we left the city for a rural community nearby, Las Terrazas. It was a great bus ride as we got to see more of the island. In Las Terrazas we had a delicious vegetarian lunch and went for a swim in a cold river pool in the forest!
I hope to update again soon and add some pictures too, so check back!
Love,
Camila
