Island Expenses

Island life is expensive!!! Especially here. Even though Cuba was under the embargo, which really hiked up the price on all imports in the grocery store, at least not everything had to be imported because the land was big enough to put to agricultural use! A six pack of soda from the grocery? 11.95. Dinner at a restaurant, 25 dollars for the most simple pasta entrée. I assume that the salaries on the island must be somewhat inflated too with the high costs associated with island importation.
