While most of our stay
was
in rural Cuba, we were treated to a wonderful block party in our honour
by a neighborhood CDR
in the City of Bayamo. As our bus arrived, we were met by crowds of
people waving Cuban flags and flags of the 26th of July
Movement. There were dancers, singers and a poet who recited a
rousing patriotic piece for us. Little children gave us roses and flags
and a kiss on the cheek. Tables was spread with many kinds of fruits,
salads, sandwiches and desserts. And a icy thick sweet mango juice that
was most delicious! Then the band started playing and the dancing
started in ernest. And
the rum flowed like water!
