Postcard from Cuba

Submitted by Sharon Ward
  

It was an untypical Monday morning, March 27; untypical, in that, instead of being behind my desk and in front of my computer at work, I was strolling with a friend, down a sun-filled avenue in 20-something degree weather in Varadero, Cuba.  We spy the bus stop we’re looking for across the street and make a beeline.  There are people waiting, so that’s a good sign.  As I step up onto the curb, I hear my name called out . . . “Sharon?”

And of all the gin joints (I mean, bus stops) . . . who is it but Bruce Mansour, from CPC Halifax, along with wife Lesley and some friends met along the way.  Too funny.  We had all flown down the night before, on different flights, and were staying across the street from each other.

So of course, it was a recordable event, and so, here is our postcard to you.  But I’m thinking, can this count as a Progress Club meeting?  I am wearing a Progress Club cap!
