Cruise Report

7/17-22

離開美國，我們往南來到中南美洲，體驗拉丁美洲的熱情！

首先，第一站就是很多人還沒有去過的古巴！ 這次的講者伊藤先生在我們抵達古巴前就分享很多關於古巴的故事，讓我們對古巴神秘的色彩更為著迷。古巴人民有著樂觀、強韌和獨立的心，用盡各種方式努力地生活著！即使實行共產主義後遭美國經濟封鎖，卻沒有因此被擊倒。像是藉著流亡國外的名義到美國賺錢寄回古巴等。他們很窮但是餓不死，像堅韌的小草一樣生活著。

另外一位講者八木小姐，則是從古巴爵士樂和舞蹈的角度出發，歷史和政治的因素也沒有阻止這些藝術家繼續創作。

So now let us explore this country.

First, we went to a traditional craft market.

Of course we had to buy cigars

Because of the economic blockade, Cuba still preserves a lot of older traditions. For example, there are still many classic-style cars over 50 years old running on the road. The local people preserve them well.

Visiting a big colonized fort.

There are many cannons left in the fort

Lunch time! Fish is a luxury dish in Cuba. We had a great fish dish with Cuban cocktails.

Let’s have a toast!

For our last stop, we went to the Revolution Museum to learn more about Cuba’s history.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset.

接著我們往加勒比海出發，來到有著清澈海水美麗沙灘的開曼群島！

在開曼群島還有機會與魟魚近距離接觸，跟他們一起在大海裡游泳喔！

從開曼群島，一路在哥倫比亞短暫停留後，我們來到巴拿馬，準備要通過巴拿馬運河啦！
