Now, I would appreciate any
information on the climate OF
Cuba. Is 1t more humid, or as

Are food prices and rents OF

they have q winter season, and
lastly. are hurricanes common
in Cuba? Oh yes. can one
buy American foods readily?
One little idea for those
wishing to store fresh parsley:
It remains green and fresh for

washed and stored in q small

I have used 1t after three
