Religion

I was really excited for class today because after speaking with Maria,  our hostess, i really wanted to know what the general Cuban response to Jehovah Witnesses was. She mentioned that they generally don't take too kindly to them because they don't eat certain meats and prefer to throw it away than give it to those who can't afford to buy meat. She also said that she disagreed with the belief that God was the ultimate medicine, i'm referring to the fact that they refuse blood transfusions, and she said it was silly for them to let children die when they could be cured with advances in medicine. I am assuming that because she is part of CASA that she is also not really allowed to spread any kind of religious preference or preach it to us. i'm not sure though. I'm still figuring that stuff out. Anyway, the instructor, who looks a lot like my grandpa (Dad's side, i'll have to take a picture of him because it's creepy how similar they look), thought he had until 1 and class was only until 10:45 so he didn't get around to talking about much of anything besides the origins of Santería. 

I'm finally beginning to like the film class. Not that i didn't appreciate the movie La última cena but the quality was kind of bad and it was difficult to understand what they were saying because of that. We are now watching a film titled Cecilia Verdés (?) which is pretty good.
