Mickey Foley, a former delegate to Cuba in 2024, recounts his experience with the WFPSC in the country through a series of chronicles, beginning with his departure from his home in Minnesota and continuing with his daily encounters, impressions, and reflections on the island. Here is the last part of this series.
Cuba: Day 9
This was another travel day, driving back to Havana from Trinidad. We stuck with the highways for the whole trip, so it only took a few hours, as opposed to the drive to Trinidad, which took much longer because we took back roads most of the way. It was our last full day of the delegation, so I think we were winding down in terms of energy. In addition, others had stayed out much later than I did the night before and drank much more alcohol, so that also may’ve accounted for the lack of energy.
Late in the trip we stopped at a rest stop on the side of the highway with a gift shop and an old black locomotive outside on the grass with its coal tender car attached. It was one of the few times I saw a train there.

Cuba: Day 10
My final day in Cuba dawned bright and early. (I don’t actually know if it did. I’ve just always wanted to write that.) We said our goodbyes at CMLK. I was on the 2nd airport shuttle of the day with Gary, Anura and Rekhet around noon, provided by Chino. Reynier also accompanied us.

Cuba: Epilogue
Trump said he can do whatever he wants with Cuba, but the truth is he can’t, and this fact has driven US presidents and the Power Elite crazy for 67 years now. That’s how long the island has held the global hegemon 90 miles away at bay. Cuba gives me and anti-imperialists the world over hope for the future. My one big political wish is to live to see the fall of the US Empire.

That last stretch of highway back from Trinidad always feels like the slow exhale of a trip, doesn’t it? The locomotive at the rest stop caught my attention too—there’s something about those old trains that makes you wonder about all the journeys they’ve seen. Speaking of testing things out, I’ve been fiddling with a scroll test lately just to make sure my mouse isn’t acting up while I read through travel chronicles like this. It’s funny how the smallest tools can help you focus on the bigger stories.
