Cuban People<\/strong><\/p>\n

When people visit Cuba they are struck by its very beautiful beaches; the beauty of its colonial cities; hills and rivers; the spectacular seabed along its coasts; and yes, of course, the old cars and the strange \u201cexotic\u201d mystic of living in revolution; but undoubtedly, what\u2019s extraordinary about Cuba is its people.<\/p>\n

Behind, in the middle, at the side, over, holding everything, are the people, with their lives, their joys, their loves, their miseries, their rhythm, their sorrow, their fears, their certainties.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe we Cubans are \u201cspecial\u201d beings; we share much of the Caribbean spirit; of the Spanish traditions and soul; of the African essence; neither are we a compact mass, all Cubans don\u2019t know how to dance, all of them don\u2019t like rum, not all of them play dominoes or speak loudly, we are not all blacks or whites and, although we have the most \u201cunanimous\u201d Parliament in the world, nothing is more difficult than getting two Cuban to come to an agreement.<\/p>\n

But it is true that when visiting Cuba one finds something that\u2019s extraordinary in its people. Many say that it is the way of \u201csharing\u201d the much and the little there is; others say that Cubans really know how to laugh and have fun (we also know how to cry and suffer); others have told me how close the people feel; others of the culture and the education they didn\u2019t expect to find.<\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t know what it is, but something extraordinary happens to those who visit Cuba and interact with the Cubans, no one remains indifferent, intact. Things move, they shake.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something else beyond governments, ideologies, life\u2019s bureaucracy. I unquestionably and openly invite you to Cuba. Go with open eyes, ready to be moved, to listen, to observe and feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
