Looking up as I walked my kids to school this morning I saw a crop duster turned into anti-mosquito spraying plane buzzing us. There are reports of dengue in my neighborhood but the Cuban government has remained tightlipped about how many cases of dengue and zika there have been this summer.The Cuban word “guajiro” refers to people from the island’s countryside.
