You asked for it

Questions you are asking about Cuba
1."so what was the best part about Cuba?"
2."Did you smoke a Cuban and drink their famous Cuban rum?"
3."How's Fidel?"
4."What was Cuba like?"
5."Did you go into a city?"
6."Was the weather nice in Cuba?"
7."Are you all refreshed ?
8."Adjusting back to normal life?"

Here is my Answer

1. The best part of Cuba was being pampered at an All inclusive - what a rush to dine and dash 7 days in a row. We also loved meeting the locals and the other Canadians and English on their holidays. The ocean was a top feature as well. There was so much fun and enjoyment it is really overwhelming to answer your first question.
2. No we did not smoke a Cuban but we sat with a friend who did, does that count? and the rum has good reason to be famous.
3. By the fact that you ask this question I think you know more about Fidel than I do..:) ... honestly the Cubans avoid talking about politics.
4. Cuba is warm sunny and beautiful and warm and did I mention it is warm...OK well we really only saw the resort and from that I can hardly answer this question. The resorts are paradise but I understand it is quite the opposite where the locals live. Our resort was very far from population because the government has forbidden locals to live on Cayo Coco, they travel by bus for at least an hour every day to come to work.
5. that answers this
6. ditto
7. Yes it was wonderful and relaxing.
8. Trying to, but it was really hard to readjust from queen to servant again... really hard though. can't I just live on my holidays?

One more highlight to share

I was able to give my Bible to some Cubans that worked at the resort because they saw that I was different and they wanted to know what it was. I was thrilled that they could see Christ in me. Glory to God because if it wasn't for Him they would have had nothing to comment on. I do wish I could of had the courage to speak with them more about their questions, but I have chosen not to dwell on the coulda-shoulda-woulda's and instead pray that God will work through the scripture as he has been doing for centuries.
