Starting the Second Week of School
We made it down to school at about 9:00am and took a look at our new schedules which were posted in the front office. Classes went well. I dropped one grammar class and added a salsa class, while Em added the salsa class and changed one of her classes to a private lesson. During my conversation class the topic of Cuba came up and it was interesting discussing our recent experience in Cuba with a friend in the class who had lived in Soviet Union until it collapsed when she was 27 years old. Overall, I’m sure it will be a good last week to polish up on our Spanish.
Upon returning home after a day full of classes we watched Azucar Amarga , a Cuban film that Ulysses had brought over after our discussions about the island. It was unbelievable good and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in life in Cuba. I’m still not sure how they were able to film so many scenes of Havana, but it was interesting to see so many of the areas we had just visited. On top of that it is a movie with a powerful message.
We stayed up for a bit afterwards discussing the film with Myra, Claudia, and Haydeé. Before bed we did some laundry and some writing, and then it was off to bed.
