What a busy few days it’s been! We’re beginning to wrap up our time in Havana, and our students are working on a blog post to let you know what we’ve been up to. In the meantime, here are some photos of our cultural explorations!

Students in the Spanish Language workshop group (focusing on Cuban Life and Culture) spent Monday morning in Cojimar, the fishing village which inspired Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea.” Our day began with a visit to an organic garden, where we sampled guava right from the tree and grapes…

Hello from Havana! Just days after the Cuban flag was raised again in Washington and with Cubans waiting for John Kerry to visit on August 14, our group arrived in Cuba. We spent our first day getting to know each other and taking our first salsa…

We’ve received word from the leaders that the group has arrived in Havana.  Everyone is in good spirits!
