I find myself speechless actually when it comes to
finding an adequate description of my recent trip to Cuba. As much as I've been
asked what makes this trip different from others I've taken of late, I find
myself struggling to answer. Bottom line is it was a visceral experience -
powerful and poignant. Much akin to seeing Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe for
the first time, it was one Stendhal moment after another! That was what Havana
was and is, all of it, start to finish.
My deepest gratitude goes out to Soane Travels, the
Design Leadership Network and Academic Adventures Abroad for the journey of a
lifetime. Many, many thanks as well to Hermes Mallea, author of The Great
Houses of Cuba, for sharing your insights on all that is Cuba! I feel so very
fortunate to have been able to go, now, to see this extraordinary country on the
brink of change.
As many have asked for additional imagery via Facebook
and Instagram, I've collected many images to share AND for even more to go
Instagram #soanetravels and #dlntravelscuba.
Viva la Cuba!!!!
