I have been just settling in to our new digs here in Havana. The rest of the flight went swimmingly, a bit more comfortable as I had all three seats to myself. We are about to have our first rehearsal this afternoon after a tour of the city. The Cuban people are super, nice and friendly and I am picking up a lot of Spanish. Last night we were treated to an awesome concert by famous Cuban pianist Chichoo Valdez with a spectacular Latin rythm section. Kind of showed us what we were up aginst. I'm just getting to know my fellow musicains, there are a few new faces.
The accomodations are very nice. We have a newly renovated house with plenty of rooms but some faulty plumbing but nothing unbearable. We have no seat on the toilet! The internet is close so I should be able to update our status regularily, so stay tuned for more.
