We wrapped up our time in Havana with one last trip to the beach and an attempt at attending a rumba lesson. Unfortunately, our timing did not coincide with the instructor's schedule and we were unable to baila con los locals. If you're really interested in taking a lesson while in town, I would advise setting aside a half-day or so in your schedule and then stopping by the school earlier in the day with flexibility to return later if/when the instructor can meet up. I took a few pictures of the locals while we killed time, and I managed to get this beautiful woman's permission before I caught her shy smile on camera:
That night, we encountered this deluded Cuban Brady/Patriots fan. He was nice enough to allow me grab evidence of his foolishness:
Getting back into the U.S. from Cuba was somewhat uneventful. I have Global Entry, so I wasn't questioned by customs upon my return. Michelle, my travel buddy, went through customs but did not run into any trouble. Our Cuban cigars, rum, and other souvenirs were unsearched and untouched after we deplaned. The process was much smoother than either of us had expected!
Up next, the top ten questions that I receive about traveling to Cuba as an American, answered!
"La Cubana"
I also captured this candid of boys playing street futbol while just barely avoiding a soccer ball to my forehead (accidental!):
"Futbol Es La Vida"
"Eagles Beat the Patriots, Though"
