Last tango in cuba

---

On Sunday, Dec 11, the Seattle Peace Chorus had its last night in Cuba. There was an amazing farewell dinner at the hotel El Presidente, with every kind of food you can imagine - lobster, shrimp, pork, fish - you name it. There would be a conversation layer about food shortages in Cuba and we have to hope that the leftovers weren't wasted. The National Choir attended the dinner along with many of the friends we've made in Cuba, such as Mario (the environmental scientist) and his wife, Cari.

Afterwards, we all went dancing at a club in Nuevo Vedado called Barbaram. We had apparently hired one of the best bands in Cuba, including the guitarist, Pancho Amat, who played the tres, a three-stringed guitar. We danced until late, and some choir members got to attend an after party with national choir members. It was a long day, but absolutely amazing.
