I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure. Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her. First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself. I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful. I now have the time to do the things I have always wanted. As a child I was a dancer, did TV work as well as Pantomimes at clubs during the holidays. We have a young granddaughter who is also fast becoming an accomplished dancer. We have a granddaughter who is a brilliant horsewoman and is very good at Marshall Arts, her sister is also very good at Marshall Arts. We have 2 gorgeous grandsons who are also into sports. We are very blessed. What are your hobbies away from the computer? We have 2 Jack Russell’s who I walk every day. I
Es complicado. You
hear that a lot in Cuba and it’s a pretty accurate assessment of the culture
and politics of this country. The streets in the major cities are filled with
brightly colored classic American cars, but under the hood many have a
mismatched assortment of replacement parts, including engines, that are
everything but American. From the smallest village to Havana you’ll also see an
eclectic mix of horse drawn conveyances. The colonial architecture is abundant
and beautiful, but most buildings are in a severe state of disrepair with no
funds available for restoration. The locals I visited with touted their free
health care and education. The literacy rate in Cuba far surpasses most other
countries in the region. In some respects, I looked around and thought that
life is much better than we’ve been led to believe. Then I remind myself of the
lives lost trying to cross a hundred miles of open ocean to reach Florida, so
life, at least for some, is not good. It’s clear that the country is changing,
many claim not quickly enough, but then again, it’s complicated.
