Cuban Leader, Fidel Castro, retired from his position today. It was on the front page of papers around the world; however, when CNN asked Cubans how they felt about this, they claimed not to have heard (despite the entire front page dedication in "Granma," Cuba's state-run newspaper). Many feel as though he is leaving his post because of his old age and sickness. Many do not care WHY he is retiring, hoping that his retirement will allow for change. For years, Castro opponents say Cuba has violated many international practices, and that Castro has been complicit in all the abuses. It will be very interesting to see what comes of Cuba in the days to come...Vocabulary Quiz Friday. FIVE (5) images due Thursday.

Do we still get e/c for the pictures that we take ourselves? If so, I have previously put two pics up.

just so you know, this entry should be week 4.
It is Week 4 because we skipped Week 4...It is the 4th set but on Week 5 ;) Sorry for the confusion!
