For the first time since since 1961, the United States and Cuba have diplomatic ties and host embassies for each other.  Today was the official reestablishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries and I felt I could not live in DC and pass up on the opportunity to witness this historic moment.  The brutal heat and poor air quality today in DC made the experience that much more challenging, but seeing the Cuban flag flying in the US for the first time in my lifetime was worth the discomfort.  Here are some of the images from this morning.
