warning: lots of photos
these are the views as we were flying into cienfuegos, cuba. i was so stinkin excited to touch down and begin my cuban adventure. the coolest thing happened in the airplane when we touched down in cuba. the entire plane erupted in cheers, clapping, and whooping. it brought tears to my eyes and chills down my spine. it was so touching. i imagine some of these people are coming back to visit for the first time ever. some of them will be meeting grandchildren for the first time. the excitement was palpable and i couldn't help but feel pride for these sweet people.
another shot of the cuban landscape. it looks so beautiful!
