One Month to Go

Wow. I haven't written for a while. Thirty days from today we leave Cuba (we spend two nights in the Bahamas, long story). Amazing how accustomed I've gotten to my routine here. As is often the case I think I hoped for doing more than was really possible. One of the reasons for this is how much more time any given task takes. People don't have call waiting or voice mail, so just getting hold of a person to set up a simple coffee date can be a lot of work. And so forth. But I have some things to show for my time here, just not exactly the ones I'd anticipated. After all, things are rarely as we expect them to be, least of all in Cuba.
