17 Marzo 2010

Today was our first History, Politics and Society of Cuba class. It is incredible to me that I hadn’t started it before the 17th, and it really just entails long classes every day of the week and, of course, more reading. As you can imagine, it was great to learn about the history (we started with early history too: we learned about the indigenous Cubans then moved to the 13 US colonies, our civil war, and the Cuban transition to freedom after the North won).
