New activity: Performance by Havana NRG (NEW RHYTHM GENERATION)

Barbara: Once again, I am reminded why I love the “ABC Life.” I could have stayed at home watching Netflix but instead, I headed over to the Allen Public Library to watch a performance by Havana NRG, a band from Cuba. They were FANTASTIC. The music performed was high energy, the singers were good and man, they can dance. They had much of the audience standing at their seats or in the aisles, dancing along to the beat and even this gal got up and did some moves. (But definitely not quitting my day job.)

While we’re in Cuba….

Can you guess what Cuba’s most valuable export is? No, all you dessert lovers, it’s not sugar nor is it tobacco. We learned that Cuba leases about 50,000 doctors to dozens of foreign nations each year. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, this program brings in billions each year to the Cuban government, making medical services their most valuable export.
