I've spent my whole life learning about "my heritage" without once visiting it - Man I hope it happens. It would mean so much to finally "go home".....

Camaguay, like any Cuban city, now looks like a hurricane hit it 10 years ago and no one repaired anything. (Hurricane Fidel.) I remember how the steeple of the old church can be seen from all over the city but the church itself was chained up and closed. There was a statue of Mary behind the closed steal gates that looked like she was in prison. The baby was missing from the manger, I assume stolen. (See the irony?)
I think Fidel is either dead or 100% incapicitated. He is too crazy to give up power any other way. I use to watch the lunatic on CubaVision rambling on every night. In Cuba there are only two channels and when he talks he is on both. Raul is either kissing his boyfriend goodbye, busy packing up bags of money or in prison. (Notice the U.S. media is not saying "coup" but no one can explain where the brother is?) I think things are about to change and am preparing to return for that reason. I want to drink rum on the malecon once again.
