Well it looks like I might get to take an academic study abroad this summer spending 10 days in Cuba. My University has recieved the Federal permission to go for a study and I have my application started. I've ammended my degree plan so I can be eligible for GI Bill funding, and there are several University scholarships specifically for this trip. Only 20 get to go so here's to praying that I get to enjoy this rare experience.

Visit the Copacabana while yer there.  There was a showgirl.  Her name was Lola.

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my, Lola. :blink:

...and illegal.


Just don't get your passport stamped. Cuba won't care. I know plenty of people who enter through Mexico

You could always get the proper permissions from the US government and fly in via Mexico or any number of Caribbean nations with direct flights.  (Source:  When I was a Baptist my pastor went every year.)

 

That said, hope you get to go with the school trip to study abroad.  It's supposed to be a truly beautiful place and a wonderful welcoming people, even if their government necessarily isn't.

Copacabana is in Brazil :|

True, but the song Groo is referring to is about a night club in NYC.


So, you both are wrong, I Win!

Which is illegal for U.S. Citizens

Be sure to tell us whether Cuban cigars are actually worth the hype.


I have had many Cuban cigars. In my assessment, the big names are not worth the hype unless you buy them and let them age in your humidor for a few years, they over produce the Big names, not letting them age properly, however the lesser known names usually are quite good, because people don't know about them they sit around much longer and age quite nicely. One of my favs is a Quintero, which is a machine rolled cigar that I will smoke any day over a R&J or Trinidad, unless I know they have been aged longer.

try and get permission to go into the crypt in the capital cities cathedral that would be way so haunting without being terrifying, just way supernatural, not like hollywood thriller or horror, super natural iz super. Or if not there main cathedral maybe a lesser one wherever you are if at all possible. At my cities cathedral they have adoration of the blessed sacrament in the crypt sometimes.
