On our very first night in Cuba, we went to dinner at the famous Hotel Nacional.\u00a0 The Hotel is gorgeous on a bluff overlooking the water, old, majestic, and impressive.\u00a0 Here is a picture of all of us in the ballroom.\u00a0 \"\"Everyone famous who has visited Cuba, comes to the Hotel and there are even pictures all around of the famous visitors (including a larger than life portrait of Hugo Chavez, not something that we are going to see here in the U.S.)\u00a0 But the thing that really struck me was in the garden next to several old cannons.
\n(And here is a picture from the garden.)\"Cuba-hotel<\/p>\n

In commemoration of a battle, the plaque referred to the Spanish-Cuban-American War.\u00a0 I knew of no such thing.<\/p>\n

\"Cuba--plaque\"We learned about the Spanish-American War.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 And, as we learned later in the trip, even though Cuba was the site of several battles (Remember the\u00a0Maine<\/em>, for example)\u00a0and was later handed over from Spain to the U.S. as a result of the war, Cubans were not part of the peace negotiations.\u00a0\u00a0We heard this more than once\u2013it was the Spanish-Cuban-American War and Cuba was not invited to the peace talks.\u00a0\u00a0It was a really\u00a0good way to start the trip\u2013with an important\u00a0reminder that we each<\/em> have our own take on history.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We were going to have the opportunity to see the Cuban view of Cuban history rather than the one presented to us at home.<\/p>\n
