Cuba-What After Castro?

It was incredible. To hear a socialist dictator ramble on for four and a half hours extemporaneously on a broad range of topics was extremely insightful. As a matter of fact, I felt a wee bit like a psychoanalyst. To hear his opinions, philosophy, theories and contradictions shed tremendous light into his psyche. Mr. Castro could not have been more friendly joking with the students and signing their passports.

A day spent in the Cuban countryside visiting a cigar factory and a fruit and vegetable cooperative was another opportunity to witness the incredible beauty of this island paradise and experience the vitality of these people.
