I emailed my Cubans yesterday to say I am not visiting any time soon. Today, to escape from the rain I popped into a random store on Via Argentina. Guess what it was?

ok fine. It was a Cuban store that sold music, books, cigars and such. I made small talk with the one man who works there, perused a few Nicolas Guillen books, smelled a few cigars, felt warm tinglies as well as bitter tinglies and went on my way. I know of a Cuban bar near Via Espana where I can get Havana Club. mmmm. Maybe next time. Panama is nice. Much more comfortable than Havana in terms of living. But there is that twinge for the familiar. For me, Havana is familiar.
Also, I have to remember that here in Panama people say "papaya" and not "fruta bomba" as they do in Cuba. Papaya means something else in Cuba. You can consult google if you are so interested. This is not THAT type of blog. t hee hee.
Oye Cubana!!! get some friends and get offline.
