Hola!

Dear all,

My apologies for a lack of communication! The internet is slow and it is difficult to find time to wait for one of the computers in the hotel lobby. Unfortunately, I can't upload pictures or videos. I think they put our emails and a boat and bring them to Miami to be sent! Here is a quick uopdate...

We are all having a wonderful time. We have spent out days visiting local music schools to perform, listen and interact. The level of musicianship here is absolutely incredible. The students we meet have been enrolled in full time music school from an early age and spent most of their days rehearsing and practicing.

In addition to our pool breaks, we have had time to stroll through the beautiful streets of Old Havana complete with antique cars and hints of cigar smoke. Today we enjoyed the Cuban Art Museum and learned more about their history and current government structure.

Last night, we took many of the kids to a Salsa Club for a dance that would put most SPS formals to shame! I was reminded why I don't choreograph any of the Madrigals songs!

We are also rock stars in Cuba. We were featured on the Cuban evening news last night and everywhere we go, we are recognized!

Off to rehearsal...
