It’s my blog and I’ll whine if I want to
List of stuff that's stressing me out right now: We returned from our trip to Washington D.C. and New York a week ago and I'm still catching up on laundry.

I started reading Babalú blog a few years ago as a result of a Google search for “Cuba news.” From day one, I was hooked.
