Es para miel cua...

The title of this post is the first line of our Cuban alma mater. (well... the way we sang it, anyway. It's really an inside joke in my family.)

"Es para mi el cuatro de Noviembre...."

Loose translation.. "For me, the 4th of November...." and it goes on to say how special a day it is because it is the birthday of our school in Havana - Instituto Edison.

This is my Secondary Pre-School Diploma. Impressive, isn't it?  Very retro.  As an artist, I like the warm sepia tones and the beautiful calligraphy. 

My memories of Cuba are like this - warm and rich and ornate.  Happy November 4th!
