My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

Music is a vital part of the country’s national<br />
identity. The majority of Cubans can sing or play at least<br />
one instrument. Whenever music is turned on, they<br />
become harmonized with the rhythm, style, and passion.<br />
Cuba is colorful across the board from its culture, and<br />
architecture to its citizens. With my great love of Cuba, I<br />
always want to journey back to more fully enjoy the beauty<br />
of this country.<br />
