text:  In order to get a visa, we had to give ourselves a classification, and our classification was in support of the Cuban people. We stayed at a locally owned B&B and ate all our meals at privately owned restaurants, attended local music performances, and enjoyed the arts and culture. We hired the local tour guides and drivers and have become friends with several of them. Cuba sure surprised us in so many ways. We now encourage our friends to make a visit, and we plan to return.
