RE: My Hometown, A Place I Barely Know

The part about electricity hit me. I write from Cuba, and here we also spend long hours without light, sometimes most of the day, so I know exactly what you describe. I found it interesting that your hometown solved the roads first: ten years ago no good roads, today tiled roads. Here it feels the same, one problem gets fixed and another one keeps waiting. I was born and raised in my town, the opposite of you, and your post made me think the bond with a place is built by living it day by day, not just by being born there. Thanks for sharing it.
