Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

End of Day 1

6-15-17 11:14pm

Day one of Cuba is in the books.  I like it here.  Again I'm reminded that the degree to which I like the people of a particular region of the world is the degree to which I like said region.  And again, like Seattle, I've really enjoyed our cab drivers.  First of all, there's a $10 flat fee for cab rides within the city which, for here, is probably steep but I honestly think it's fair.  Our cab drivers have been very warm, especially the one that took us to dinner tonight.  

That's one of the things I've noticed about Cuba.  It's inexpensive.  We just ate at an upscale restaurant near the Malecòn for $37 dollars(three people).  Not bad at all.  

I do wish I spoke more Spanish. It would be nice to be able to know more of what was going on around me, but thankfully we hung out a hotel tonight for a while that had a lot of English speakers.  It was nice to feel "at home" for that hour or so.  It gives me a ton more perspective for those that are not native to the US and how they must feel when they're there.
