Things Are Slowly A Changin'

Last week it was announced that Raul Castro's government

Now, reports claim that early Monday the younger Castro quietly lifted the controversial ban keeping Cubans from staying at tourist hotels and renting cars.


Granma, the Communist Party daily newspaper, made no mention of the change on its website early Monday, but several hotel and rental-car employees said they were informed of the move late Sunday.


A hotel worker , who declined to give his name out of fear, welcomed the change. "Cubans should have the same rights as everyone else," he said.


Amen!
