My second trip to Cuba took place on October 2019 with a few family members. I was personally excited about this trip to see Cuba with my mother and aunt. They left Cuba as young girls and it was the first time visiting with some of their children.

Hmmm… that doesn’t even sound right. Home, Sweet Home sounds so much better. A house is just a building, it sounds big and cold. A home on the other hand, is a place – a place that regardless of the size is warm, inviting and inclusive.

An unexpected move…
