Further sharing about Cuba trip: The U.S. Embassy

---

We were blessed to sit in on a 2 hour briefing with Bruce Kleiner, Chief of Public Affairs, U.S. Embassy, Havana Cuba and with Julio C. Llopiz, Deputy of Public Affairs, Asst Public Affairs officer. The meeting included 70 persons. There were lots of questions afterwards. He did discuss the fact that there is still a U.S. embargo against Cuba (I did not know this) and that U.S. citizens are not allowed to travel to Cuba as tourists ( our group leader did tell us this.) There are currently 12 categories allowed for our travel, such as education, religious, etc. The future of U.S. relations was still unknown at that point. Interesting!

We were only allowed to take photos outside of the U.S. Embassy. Not much to see so I included some miscellaneous photos with captions. I hope you enjoy.
