30 Days of Cuba - Day 1

Leading up to my second trip to Cuba in early June, I will be writing one blog post per day for 30 days. I give to you 30 Days of Cuba:

El Día Uno:

The first thing that captivated me about Cuba when visited in March 2014 was the music. Ever since I traveled to the Emerald Isle (Ireland) 14 years ago, I have been searching for a country equally as musical in its national identity. As soon as I arrived in Cuba, I knew that I had discovered a land of music. The people dance as they walk, sing as they pray, and awake with a melody in their minds. Every night I walked the streets of Old Havana (La Habana Vieja) and followed the sounds of the music to their origins, where I would dance with people in the streets until I was exhausted with ecstasy.  By the time I left Havana 7 days later, I could feel my heart beat in my feet.
