A group photo at the University of Havana: all the students, Professor Super, Luis (our Havana organizer), and the Historian of the University. The only ones missing are Dashiell (our translator) and me. Click on the picture for a larger version with everyone's name. Get larger versions of the pictures below by clicking on them, too.

| Me (Bill Trumbull). This isn't Cuba. Since I was the one taking all these pictures, I don't have any of me there. So this will have to do. | Camilo Moreno, an econ major from Columbia. It was great having a Spanish speaker in the group to help whenever there was a language barrier. | |
| Stephanie Dooley, lost in a sugarcane field. Don't worry, she made it out OK. | Dan Poling knows a good 'gar when he smells one. | |
| Joe Super, Professor of History, enjoying a Romeo y Julieta in El Floridita, Hemingway's favorite Havana bar. Hemingway is in the picture in the background conferring with Fidel. | Bridget Evans, who almost didn't get into Cuba because she couldn't decide what her name was. That's Betsy Goosman in the background. | |
| Evan Fedorko (left) and Dan Poling smoking Cuban cigars and drinking Cuban rum. When in Cuba, do as the Cubans do. | Kristy Wood and Peter Freedman playing chess on our bus. How's that for a balancing act? | |

Jeff Stock, Evan Fedorko, Betsy Goosman, and Bridget Evans waiting ever so patiently in one of many airports. Did I mention how much fun it is getting to Cuba and back? | |
| Evan at the beach getting his first real look at Cuban girls. | Luis, our organizer. He's a business student at the University of Havana. We really had him sweating accomodating all our needs, but he pulled it off very, very smoothly. | |
| Dash, our translator and a foreign language major at the U of H. Both he and Luis hit it off with our students right away, which added an unexpected dimension to the course. | Peter Freedman playing catch on the beach. |
|
| Kelly Postlethwait and Keri Cowen discovering the joys of sugarcane. | Aaron Hawley, the only non-WVU student. A Morgantown boy, he's at the University of Maryland. |
