Gracias!Hey everybody I'm here for all us Cuban-Americans to get to know each other & learn more about where we come from...teach each other a little about our culture & network!

It's main purpose is to spread the beauty of our culture and for cubanos & cubanas to connect with each other. Although, I am happy to be able express my opinions and let others post theirs as well. Please be respectful to each other even if we have differences of opinion. I also have a regular page on myspace if u want to know more about me...I'm in the top 8 on here (caro) I'm 50% Cubana and PROUD!! Don't hesitate to hit me up if you want.
