I am so proud of my country, said Alicia Alonso in an interview on CNN, I am so proud of my small country, Cuba.
How small, I wondered, is Cuba?
Well, not that small as it turns out. All the Scandinavian countries are smaller than Cuba but she probably sees it against the towering neighbor of USA, and compared to that, yes Cuba is small.
I enjoyed the interview but I have to say that as much as I admire her as an artist, as a dancer, she does not come across as a very nice person.
Ah well, at 91 I guess she has a right to be unpleasant, only I have feeling she was that way before she hit this venerable age.
