I started this blog on January 2, 2009 by writing about a visit to Versailles on New Year's Day - the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution. (Some old men drinking coffee tried to lecture us on the evils of Communism and Hania told them not to bother - "I'm Polish," she said.) Saturday I stayed away from the famous Little Havana restaurant - it seemed to be a uniquely Cuban celebration and, even though welcomed, I would have felt like a party-crasher. Watching it on TV I realized that Cuba is now in the unusual position of possibly becoming one country in the world that actually moves forward.
(I'm off again, this time on a little road trip to promote my book. Will be back here on Dec. 5th.)
