December 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was off to El Cobre <\/a>today. As I had been there before this time I walked around the grounds by the church and discovered a seminary, though it doesn\u2019t appear to be used as a seminary anymore.\u00a0 It was nearly deserted except for the ladies cleaning and they explained to me that they come every day to clean and cook.\u00a0 I never did figure out who they were cooking for \u2013 perhaps it is used as a retreat now.\u00a0 It is a beautiful complex with a courtyard and stately columns along the portico.\u00a0 I also explored the hotel that sits behind the church and captured some black and white photos which seemed appropriate given the building itself.\u00a0 There was a lovely old man and his burro who asked if I had any soap.\u00a0 Of course I did! I also gave him some liniment.\u00a0 He was wonderful to talk to and a joy to photograph because he had a fabulous face and great expressions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We returned to the city of Santiago and headed off to the hotel for Carlos and Vivi\u2019s baby party. The city was dark \u2013 except for the few houses that had alternative energy. The blackouts have been regular and lasting about 6-10 hours. The hotel, of course, had its own power which spilled out onto the street and into the park across from it. These blackouts are now a regular occurance across the island and we have been told they are worse in Baracoa where we head next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
