For Kelsea. Thanks for everything.
Special thanks to Rudy Acosta for the all the information and a great meal.
If you were me and lived in Cuba (Cue-ba), you would live on an island located in the northern Caribbean (Ka-rih-bee-an) in the western hemisphere. It is known as the Republic of Cuba and is the biggest island in the Caribbean and the second most population in the area.
You would live in the capital and largest city, Havana (Huh-van-uh).You would love the energy of this busy port. It is an important business and banking center for the whole island.
Havana is located on a bay and has three major harbors. A bay is a small half circle of water that has ocean on one side and land on the other. The Almendares (Al-men-dar-res) River crosses through the city, separating it from north to south.
Havana is an old city. It was founded by Spanish explorers in the 16th century and served as an vital harbor for the treasure filled ships traveling from the New World back to Spain.
Your parents might have picked the name Veronica (Ver-on-ik-ah), Zamira (Za-mir-ah), or Aymee (Aye-maye) if you were a girl. Ernesto (Ur-nest-oh), Jose (Hoe-say), and Luis (Loo-ees) were their choices if you were a boy.
