I was immediately  drawn to her. All about purpose, commitment, convictions and strength. The way she talked about her distant land,  its people, the music, and her defiant big black eyes. Hard and soft all in one.  A very different way to feel and to be. The realism and the naivest all in one. About the desire to go back and the difficulties of not fitting all so well in other places. I am intrigued. I want to know more. I would love so much to see Cuba with her and to learn more about its past and future.
