1. Talk about bad luck. They left Spain to get away from Franco, only to have Batista take over
right after they got to Cuba!

Very interesting to hear some people who fought in the revolution, and regarded Fidel Castro as their very participatory leader. No sitting on his fat ass far away, out of harm's way.

Interesting seeing they keep a gun in one's apartment. Some beanbag in LBN claimed recently Cubans aren't allowed to keep weapons, and that they would only get them when the island gets invaded and the government hands them out! Yeah, sure! That's not what we hear from people who know people in Cuba.

Thanks for the video. It was very interesting, and a bright spot for the day.

As enthusiastic, and lively as these two are, it would be great to imagine they will be around for a good long time, and in good health.
