This week, Guantanamo!!! It was an incredible experience....The next days we had a wonderful time, this truly was a memorable trip! We hung out with the guys from the East Coast and they showed us the boat inside and out, how they work and what they do, we took a ride around the land and it was a loooot of fun!So wait, was that pledge for world peace and to end war/bad stuff a lie? Or does it get sidetracked by those sandy Guantanamo beaches and friendly military dogs? Not even a token "End this mean stuff"? Were you not aware? Has Chavez not been haranguing on an on about this on state TV? Oh well.
We also met the Military dogs, and they did a very nice demonstration of their skills. All the guys from the Army were amazing with us.
We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting.
The water in Guantánamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me of Guantánamo Bay :)
I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful
Though for future reference if you never wanted to leave Gitmo then you probably should have been named Miss Desert Outside of Kirkuk during a battlefield pageant three years ago. Might not have as high an opinion of the dogs after the first week though.
