Havana, Cuba – All month long, Alabama Public Radio has been bringing you snapshots of life on the island nation of Cuba. University of Alabama students are studying in Havana, and are sending back a series of commentaries we call "Postcards from Cuba." Today, we present the last one. Student Elaina Tirador is Cuban-American. Her father is from Cuba. She still has distant relatives living on the island. And, she found them.
