The plane has been called for boarding so I’m going to go now I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do any more posting from inside the plane. On the way to the airport, I had to make a quick stop at the office of the newspaper Juventud Rebelde. It is located catty-corner from the office of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.

You’ll notice the red berets, quite distinctive, which identified them as members of the internal security force within the Ministry of the Armed Forces. Look closely and you will see that this detail includes both male and female soldiers. Okay, perhaps this is a good place to stop recording any more impressions and go line up to board my flight to Miami which leaves in about a half hour.
