What I Learned This Week [In Cuba]

May 19, 2009

For some reason, I was not able to copy and paste Jo-Lynne’s cute What I Learned This Week graphic. Instead, I had to save it to my pictures and download it to photobucket. Also, Internet Explorer is not working on my laptop and therefore I am forced to use Firefox. (I see you smiling, Jo-Lynne!)

I don’t really mind using Firefox. It’s just that I am not used to it and don’t really understand some of the quirky things that the Firefox does.

Nevertheless, I am thankful for the internet here even though it is s-o-s-t-i-n-k-i-n-s-l-o-w.

If your one of my three loyal readers, you know that me and my sweet boys happen to be in Cuba with McDaddy.

I thought it might be fun to share what I’ve learned this week about Cuba.

  • There is no 1% milk anywhere on the island in the commissary.
  • The internet is much slower at night than it is during the day.
  • There are “NO PHOTOGRAPHY” signs everywhere.
  • There is a McDonalds, a Taco Bell, and A&W, and a KFC on the island.
  • The water is absolutely beautiful.
  • The high school has two football teams so they can play each other.
  • A new release movie is shown every evening at an outdoor movie theater
  • The NEX (Naval Exchange) has Coach Handbags marked 50% off right now.
  • I had never heard of a banana rat until I came here
  • It rarely rains here, but has rained for two days (apparently, we brought the rain with us)
  • There is a putt-putt course, a bowling alley and a go-cart track here.
  • There are iguanas everywhere and they are endangered.

We are having a great time!

Banana rat? You may have to post more about that one…I am very curious!

Wow, I just learned a lot, too. I just imagined a base and nothing like a town with American-like amenities.

Get some of those Coach purses!!!!!

Woo hoo! 50% off? yippee. How many are you gonna get?

So glad you made it and are having a great time. Gotta love bases. They always provide the comforts of home (well aside from not having 1% milk!)

So glad you made it there!

Will look forward to your photos when you get back (assuming you can take some!)

Enjoy your time together as a family.

Glad you are having a good time. I hope you are getting a Coach purse or two, they are the best type of souvenir ever!!!

You are not allowed to come home without a purse. Tell McDaddy I said so.
