I was sitting in my Intro to Latin America and Caribbean Studies class today and we were talking about Cuba. This reminded me of a story. Its a short one this time. And not exceptionally exciting.
My family and I went to the island of Tortuga (if you'll remember in Pirates of the Caribbean, this island is kind of a big deal). In real life it was just a prison. In this prison was held President Lincoln's murderer. While at this island we learned that if any citizen from Cuba successfully lands a boat onto the Key West soil (american soil) they would essentially be immigrants and given some nice things. If the boat has trouble out at sea, and someone has to help them to land, they get sent back to Cuba.
I saw people on a boat land on American soil. I thought it was pretty cool.
More interesting things tomorrow or soonish.
