I had no idea what to expect. Cuba is both mystery and legend to Americans. What I found were a strong people, proud of their heritage and united in their love for their country.
We were able to meet some of Cuba's finest along the way. People who love knowledge, appreciate culture, and fight hard for Cuba's future.
And some of them are maybe just a little tired.
