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.

  6. Thank you so much for the gorgeous "trip" to Cuba! What is that wonderful red wrap/shawl with the buttons you are wearing? I want one! (Can you tell I'm a spinner and dyer and knitter?) Great photos.

    Best,

    Deb D.
