We visited the home of Jose Fuster, a mosaic artist who had covered his home, and with the help of the community, much of his adjoining neighborhood.

We had a delicious lunch (with Cuba Libres of course) at Jose Fuster's home.

We also visited Mario Pelgrin Pozo's home. He's created a community center, in his neighborhood. There are kids art lessons, dance lessons, and a small garden. He's done this for 11 years, relying on as he put it, 'non-government donations.'

I donated a bag of watercolor sets and told Mario I'd love to come and teach the kids for a week someday. He grinned and pointed to 'my room!' (below) and invited me to check it out.
