About Me

Life After 50-Ain't It Grand?



I'm on a personal journey of lifelong learning...discovering my Cuban heritage and roots and hopefully becoming a better person. I am a grandaughter of Maria Mantilla, the child Jose Marti loved so dearly. She says he is my great grandfather... I'm on a mission to lift the travel ban to Cuba...anyone want to help??

My Interests

Oldies but Goodies

There's just something about the music from the 60's that fills my soul...perhaps it's the lyrics to songs we all can sing to...songs that speak of that first kiss, that first love whom we hold so dea...
