Varadero
Tonight at work I spoke with a lovely 83 year old woman who told me of a tranquil beach in Cuba called Varadero. She said it is the most beautiful place in the world. I immediately went to look up photographs of it and am so jealous that she saw this place in person. María had left Havana in 1960 to come to the US and has not been back since. Our conversation was the highlight of my dreary little day. (even in your dreams, have you ever imagined an ocean this colour??)

Absolutely exquisite. Yet one more place I'll never see. But right now I'd settle for a Cuban sandwich! That would look RIGHT beautiful! I'm starved!!!
