The program is Latin American and Latino/a Cross-Border Social Movements. The focus is the Cuban Revolution and how it brought on profound changes in Cuban society and impacted much of Latin America. The program will explore the changes in Cuban culture after the Revolution and the new institutions that emerged.
LOL LOL....as I typed above, I was taken back to middle school....I did not do well in world or american history or geography in middle school :-) Anywho, I have come a long way since then. I am no longer interested in making an "A". Instead interested in the experience. Thus will be taking the program Pass/No Pass.
Met CCSF's instructor (Greg Landau) on our program. He has been going to Cuba since he was 5 years old. His father was a film maker and Greg went there often as a child and now as an adult. Excited to be going with someone who has connections with the people, music, and culture of Cuba. And personal experiences. He'll be taking us off the tourist path and for that I am grateful.
I love traveling off the tourist path as I enjoy seeing how people in another place live day-to-day. Helps keep my perspective open.
Thus I am grateful to have the time and finances to go on this "planned deviation from routine" next month.
Thank You!
