Miker,
Martin's a good friend and his Havana Bay is remarkable,
considering our culture is alien to him. I assisted him
during his research here. It's SANTERIA, a blend of African
and Catholic deities.
Man, I've seen it all, but this is not the right forum to
tell you about it. I do remember the casinos. My "World
Series" deals with that. 1958 Havana, Meyer Lansky, the rift
between the five New York Mafia families for the control of
gaming here, the whole enchilada. I´ve seen the picture of
Hemigway and Castro together. Finca Vigia is a shrine in
fact, the Pilar included. Norberto Fuentes wrote Hemingway's
biography (well, it's not a biography, it's an account of his
years in Cuba). Hemingway's skipper is also Fuentes, and he's
102 years old. Can you believe it? Has smoked cigars all his
life.
Take care,
Jos銼BR>
