I'm guessing that this article appeared in the Toronto Sun, or one of it's sister papers.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Interesting article John.   I would think it's quite a fair report of the proceedings she witnessed.  She's a freelance reporter with the Edmonton Sun the article says.
 
 It's certainly not biased, unlike Bob McDonald's reports on Cuba in the Toronto Sun.

Well while both articles by Edmonton Sun freelance reporter PATRYCJA ROMANOWSKA are far less biased than the Toronto Sun's Bob McDonald, they also show quiet a large dose of naïveté. Or perhaps that is simply the youth and inexperience of the writer. Inexperienced not only by age, but also it is quite obvious that she lacks international travel experience, especially in a third world country. I especially laughed when she reports that people keep getting in line in front of her. She simply doesn't understand the simple and rational Cuban system of line-ups by asking who's last in line.
 
 Oh well, at least she's intellectually honest enough to preface her articles by clearly stating that they are her Opinions only.
 
 She'll learn.
