"Cute" clothes for Cuba
Practical Easy to Pack
Ordered Black and White
Yes, I'm going to Cuba for Eight Days!
Leaving on October 13...Can't wait!!
Found these garments at the St. Paul Highland Art Fair, but they didn't have my size. The artist is willing to make the skirt for me because it'll be easy to roll up in my suitcase and fun to wear. I'll probably give it away when I leave. We're bringing all kinds of humanitarian items (over-the-counter medicines, aspirin, children's
vitamins, toothbrushes and toothpaste samples my dentist will provide, sample shampoo and conditioner, and best of all...school supplies and books for children). I am an expert at getting donations from commercial establishments!

You don't have to wear CAMOUFLAGE, for goodness sake! They've been brainwashing you - Cubans are quite friendly, so I'm told..
ReplyDeleteCamouflage? I thought it was high-60's fashion!

Cuba will be a special experience. Just be careful. And have fun. And take some pictures. And if you find a dog named "Fiffy," bring her back. OK?

fantastic opportunity. wishing you the richest of experiences.
ReplyDeleteI believe you're gonna brighten the place up in more ways than one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opportunity. It sounds wonderful. I hope you can take pictures, as it always appears so colorful, with such interesting old architecture and buildings. This is probably the same person I bought some things from a few years ago at an art fair, but I haven't found him again at the local fairs. Would you mind sending me his website or how I might reach him to place an order? You can email me at teresaevangeline@yahoo.com. Thanks, Kate!
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I sent you the information that I have on her card.
DeleteAfter all the gracious humanitarian work take a little time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a visit with Hemingway's home and boat! Pics required.
Hemingway's house and favorite bar are also on the schedule, and I intend to find a way to go out dancing!!
DeleteOh, Kate, I wish I could tag along with you. I've always wanted to see Cuba ever since I was a little girl when one of my aunts, a horsewoman, went their annually with her horse, Honey Boy, to ride in a parade with the Cisco Kid and Pancho! That was another time in history, to say the least! I do hope you're allowed to take pictures. Please share with all the details all the wheres and whys for your trip!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm really jealous. I've always wanted to visit Cuba. What a fantastic opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSince 2009 Cuba is opening up again...cultural, educational, and humanitarian groups can be licensed to visit. Check it out with a travel agency; I want to go there before the end of the Castro regime to try to experience it before it changes.
DeleteHow awesome Kate. Wish you could roll me up in your suitcase too.
ReplyDeleteIt is so fulfilling to be able to do such humanitarian efforts.
Can ya beat a cool, colorful tie dyed t-shirt in the summer? I think not.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Can't wait to hear all about it. I hope there will be pictures.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time. Great that you can get donations too! Safe & happy travels. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations, Kate. It sounds like a fabulous experience!
ReplyDeleteI do think that COMMUNICATION is so much better than us being CLOSED off!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABC Wednesday team
What an exciting experience to await. Enjoy the trip, Kate.
ReplyDeleteThose would be perfect for some Cuban dancing.
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to stow away! Cute clothes! Have fun and we want to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant thing to do Kate, and you are going to look gorgeous doing it in your tie dye skirt, can we please see a shot of your 'Cuban' outfit when you've got it organized!
ReplyDeleteCuba! How exciting! I used to have a blue wrap around skirt like that. They do come in handy.
