| Cuban Cigars |
Daughter L was in Cuba with 9 friends for their reading week break which just ended this past weekend. They had a fabulous time at the Roc Arenas Doradas resort in Veradero. Apparently the food wasn't very good but the resort was spotless, composed of small, beautiful villas. The service was excellent, the staff was very hospitable. The beach was gorgeous as was the perfect weather. They did get a lot of mosquito bites in the evening. Cuba is a poor country, so they can't be blamed for the food. It is an all-inclusive resort and you will likely get better food at the pricier all-inclusives, but the place was perfect for students. They even took the bus into the town of Veradero to do some shopping. She said one of the best things was when a worker would climb up the coconut trees and give them fresh cut coconuts every day. They came home with lots of bottles of free rum won from playing games.
L had come home a few days before the week long trip to pack and get ready. On their return from Cuba in the wee hours of Sunday morning, husband M and son K picked her and 3 friends up at the airport. The group drove back to school later that day after some rest. It was great to see L and hear all about their trip.
