Fidel_Castro

Fidel Castro The Experience of a Lifetime I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to participate in such a stimulating experience of traveling the world aboard the S.S. Universe Explorer during my semester abroad. Through Semester at Sea, I was able to visit almost every continent on this planet, from Asia to Africa to South America, while the very last country I visited allowed me to see a culture and society that only a small number of my fellow U.S. citizens have embraced. We woke to find ourselves docked in the heart of Old Havana, Cuba, where gorgeous colonial architecture stretches as far as the eye could see and at a first glance, you could almost be transported back 300 years. Between walking around the city, attending a Cuban baseball game, visiting the University of Havana and several fortresses such as Castillo de la Fuerza and Catillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro, my first two days in Havana were quite busy. I planned on relaxing on one the beautiful beaches on the white sand overlooking the crystal clear water of the Caribbean during my last day in Cuba, however I gladly replaced it with the experience cuba, students, one, havana, cuban, castro, able, during, while, independence, however, fidel, despite, cuba’s, country, after, years, world, university, speech, society, semester, professors, history, food, fellow, far, experience, every, due, culture, countries, citizens, american, almost
