Sometimes I forget that I am living in a foreign country as I pass through
my day without taking notice of the differences in my surroundings that had
kept me so entertained when I first moved here. But then, when I'm not
paying attention, I come across a scene which reminds me that I'm a long way
from home.

Cuba
Cuba
Visited and written in 2003
Growing up in the USA we, as Americans, have the right to enjoy many freedoms including the right to travel, the right to speak our minds in a public forum without prejudice, and the right to open and run our own businesses. Oddly enough, one limitation to American freedom is that we may not travel to Cuba. Well, actually we are allowed to travel there but the Treasury Department has put restrictions on Americans spending money in Cuba because they believe that it slips through the hands of the people and ends up in the coffers of a government ruled by a Communist party. After just having spent eight days in Cuba, I can honestly say that I am a supporter of this policy, but for different reasons than that of the Treasury.
