I left for Cuba the day following the disastrous US Presidential election & I admit, I was pretty devastated & really looking forward to getting off the grid, leaving behind our 24-hour news cycle, & ignoring the mortifying reality of US politics & the short-sighted decision making of our population. Havana was just what I needed. There’s no 3G/4G service so my US cell carrier is worthless. There’s a state-run Cuba-wide wifi network where you buy hour-long access cards & hop on wifi hotspots throughout the city/country (you know there’s a wifi hotspot in Havana when you see a bunch of Cubans huddled together on phones at a street corner). But that service is terribly unreliable, spotty & inconvenient. So I got my wish… I really am off the grid. I’m still enjoying writing blog posts documenting some ridiculous stories & taking a shitload of photos, so I’ll just post them upon my return. Hasta luego.
