Hello my beautiful Steemit friends :)

Today I came across my old pictures from Cuba. It just let me reminisce that time, so I was like "why not posting about it" :D

It takes me way back to my 16th birthday :) But let me tell you about my Cuban friend first. We met through the internet when I was 14 I think. It didn't take long and we came inseparable! We just shared everything. Our dreams, secrets, wishes, and our pasts. She became like a sister to me and I loved her family. Especially that Cuban food omg haha.

We both shared dreams about travelling and exploring the world. So it didn't take long and we planned our first trip to Spain :) and we made it happen! That was just the beginning. After that, one year later, we made new plans. CUBA! She has a lot of family there and I wanted to meet everyone :)

When I finally made it to Cuba (she was already there) I was so overwhelmed with everything. Oh and it was my birthday too! And my beautiful friend had a special gift for me :) She organized a photo shooting ala quinceañera :) (even though it was my 16th birthday:))

quinceañera: The fiesta de quince años is a celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday. It has its cultural roots in Latin America but is widely celebrated today throughout the Americas. (wikipedia)

I felt so special that day haha. I got my hair done, make up done, and nails done :) They had special outfits I could wear.
And here's the result

So this is really way back haha over 10 years ago :)

I love Cuba and the Culture. I wasn't at the tourist side of Cuba, I got to know the "real" Cuba and the beautiful people.
