My Trip to Cuba
















I went to Cuba today and had a wonderful time. The drive down from from Birmingham was really pleasant. Yes...I said Birmingham. My job sent me on a trip down to Cuba, Alabama and the whole experience was too great. Here are some photos from the trip.


I attended a program at the Sumter County Welcome Center in Cuba, AL and one of the local high school choir's performed.






Interesting attire for a small town high school choir member....













The insects on the left are called lovebugs by locals. They say that these bugs die after detaching from their 'lovers.' It didn't strike me at the time, but I am now curious about when they produce eggs. If they die after detaching then how do they produce more lovebugs?

Why is this place called Cuba, AL? I met Linda Munoz, an amazing glass and mosaics artist from York, AL, and she agreed to share the history. I apologize all for my horrible editing at the end...the ending is a bit awkward.
