little gymnasts in Havana

Cuban kids don’t have Playstations or a basement full of sporting equipment, they all play outside. It was wonderful to see kids engaging in everything from baseball to football (soccer) to basketball to competing with each other to who can do better flips in the air.

This was my first full day in Havana, and I saw these two boys trying to outdo each other in the gymnastic department. I took out my camera and motioned that I would film them and show them their videos so they could see what they looked like. I don’t think they’d ever seen themselves on video before — they were so proud!

coooooookies...

This is a momentous occasion. I haven’t baked anything for a long while, since before David passed away. It was an activity we enjoyed together. We used to bake cookies in batches with the intention of freezing them, then we’d end up gorging on them while watching movies. It was ritualistic overeating when it came to cookies. Occasionally we’d not make ourselves sick by eating them all, and David would take the rest to work. Cookies were lucky to last more than 24 hours in the House of Fielding.

Tonight I had a sudden craving for them, and I convinced myself munching on cookies would make it easier to absorb information from my flight books…

Cookie?
