Re: Cubans Go Nuts For Obama!
Michelle will meet with high school-age female Cubans as part of her Let Girls Learn initiative, asking questions about life in Cuba provided by U.S. students through Discovery Education.
The First Lady will also represent the initiative in Argentina, where the family will meet with the country's new president, Mauricio Macri, in Buenos Aires.

This is such a great moment. A historical and an educational visit from America's first family.

Re: Cubans Go Nuts For Obama!
Very cool. I am looking into a B&B there. There are direct flights from JFK. My cousin recently stayed in a B&B for $20per night. I would love to go before it becomes tourist mecca.

I have never been , but many of my friends have. They say the beaches are spectacular, the coffee is delicious, but the food is a little weak. That will change as trade is allowed.

Re: Cubans Go Nuts For Obama!
And then it was off to Argentina....
The president won't erase memories of Valentino, but not bad for a first try.
Can you imagine GW doing the tango? The poor woman's feet would be black and blue from him stepping all over them....with his crocs.
