Havana, Cuba
May 2018 - This trip was EVERYTHING! In 2004, Dee came to this country for the first time to study abroad. Now to return some 14 years later with her husband Noble Dre* Ali and see how everything here is exactly the same - was truly mind blowing! Together they spent 5 full days in Havana even though it felt more like 2 weeks or more! Cuba is such a time capsule. Dee and Noble Dre* Ali fully unplugged with limited internet and cell phone service, which allowed them to fully tap into themselves and each other.
