Tuesday

Today started with a a speaker from the U.S. Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba which carries out Cuban foreign policy relating to the U.S.  The speakers made clear their frustration with the policies of the American government, especially, of course, what is called the “blockade.”  At the same time, they expressed friendship for the people of the United States and the wish for better relations, which we reciprocated.

Hammel Alley in central Havana where we met the Cuban painter and muralist Salvador Gonzalez and were treated to a folk dance and music performance.

After lunch, we returned to the law union building and heard from Professor Kindelan regarding the Cuban constitution and Cuban laws.

Regretttably, due to the difficulties with the internet here (expensive and very, very slow) I won't be able to post pictures today - I'll try again tomorrow.
