Around the World

I hoped the country with the fabulous dance music would have dancers everywhere. At least where we went, Cuba was like the rest of the world: most people have to be coaxed onto the floor. At our resort, dance lessons happened when I went to the "Animacion" crew and asked. Then a few other ladies would get up.
Out in town, beautiful music was on every other street corner, but we never found a nice dance floor.
Of course at a "Disco", the young people with their drinks are willing to take up space, and in Cuba, smoking is encouraged. The "Mambo Club" Saturday night had to be government run because there was the traditional Cuban band, great music even with the obligatory "Guantanamera", but when they took their break, House music came on and we had to leave.
Maybe if we had gone Sunday afternoon, but that day was 50 degrees and blowing 40 MPH with the Patriots on TV, losing. A bus ride was $6. Taxi $22. After the depressing night, I just curled up with What Falmouth is Reading, Moby Dick.
