Another state would be nice. I’d move there in a minute. It’s beautiful there.
You signed up today to say that?
Bye-bye.
I used to live in Miami, over 30 years ago, and of course I worked with many wonderful Cubans. More than once I heard them say in a half joking/whole earnest way 'If only the U.S. would make Cuba a state'. It was fantasy of course, but one that seemed to be shared by more than a few. Before Castro's take over, many members of my family used to travel to Cuba and the photos they took there attest to your statement on how lovely it was.
