Wara soġġorn solitarja u wunderbare tiegħi fil Vinales I ingħaqdu ma grupp fil-Havana. Il-grupp ma jkollu skop, iżda aktar dwar dan aktar tard. Wara li ssieħbu mal-grupp I felt obbligati li jagħmlu affarijiet komunali ftit mal-poplu fiha u xi wħud minnhom, kemm il-poplu u l-affarijiet kienu sbieħ ħafna! Madankollu, il-problema ma tagħmel xejn mal-grupp (inqas inizjalment qabel we waqfet tagħmel affarijiet li kienu stabbiliti fuq), kienet li inevitabbilment involuti jiġu crammed ġo u carted madwar fil-agħar tip ta 'charabanc rickety immaġinabbli. Fit-quċċata ta 'dan aħna dejjem kien għal età barra lukanda wunderbare tagħna stennija għall-jalopy li jduru up.
F'okkażjoni waħda, ladarba ffirmaw biex tmur fil-ċerimonja isparar canon fil-Parque Historico Militar Morro-Cabana aħna kważi qbiżt l-isparar canon. Rita, gwida lokali tagħna, organizzat mill-kumpanija vaganzi Skyros, kienu mwaħħla fit-traffiku madwar l-ibliet u aħna stenniet u stenniet u meta aħna ltqajna hemm kien hemm biss żmien biex nikseb stabbiliti għall-isparar ċerimonjali costumed storika wara li aħna ma jiksbu biex iżuru l-mużew minħabba li jingħalaq minnufih, huma mitluba 25CUC (madwar £ 15 jew $25) għall-debacle.
Parir tiegħi jkun li tieħu taxi erba peso minn Vedado jew Habana Vieja jew tagħmel wara nofsinhar ta 'dan u tieħu mixja twila tul il-Malecon famuż. Inti jista 'jkollok biex jaqsmu t-triq kultant biex jevitaw il-mewġ li tiġrifa fuq il-bankina imma int tista' tara l-arkitettura isturdament iżda neżlin f'din it-triq tal-baħar emblematika u jfakkru xeni mill-film Man tagħna fl-Havana. Fidel ippermetta lill- 1959 li jiġu iffilmjati fil-Kuba iżda lmenta li l-brutalità tar-reġim Batista ma kienx mpinġi b'mod preċiż. Greene ikkummenta "Alas, il-ktieb ma me ftit tajba mal-mexxejja l-ġodda fl-Havana. Fil poking gost fl-Servizz Sigriet British, I kien minimizzat l-terrur ta 'regola Batista tal. I ma kinux riedu wisq iswed sfond għal comedy dawl b'qalbhom, iżda dawk li sofrew matul is-snin ta 'dittatorjat ma tantx tista' tiġi mistennija li japprezzaw dan is-suġġett reali tiegħi kien l-assurdità tal-aġent British u mhux il-ġustizzja ta 'rivoluzzjoni. "
Ktieb hilarious tiegħu ma tolqotx il f'partijiet il-brutalità tar-reġim Batista ssir aktar li l-film (każ tas-sigaretti magħmula minn ġilda tal-bniedem, distinzjonijiet klassi fil-tortura :- "Hemm dawk li jistennew li jkunu toruted u dawk li dont, wieħed qatt ma torturi mingħajr ftehim reċiproku ". Għall-brutatity tar-reġim Castro taqra Reinaldo Arenas ""Qabel Falls Lejl".
Aħna xtraw il-biljetti għall-ballet fil Gran Teatro de la Habana, u inkwetanti jekk il-il-van antika se tikseb us hemm fil-ħin ma kienx l-uniku bidu bad. Nofs in-nies marru fi u l-nofs l-ieħor li I kienet waħda, Rita qal "għandna problema". Il-problema kienet li huma ma kellhomx biljetti tagħna fuq l-iskrivanija, xi ħadd issuġġerixxa aħna sempliċiment jmorru l-lejl wara. Din is-soluzzjoni possibbli li ma kienx indirizzat. Wara konna ċomb fi żibel ampju triq ġenb kienu aħna maqbuda l-attenzjoni ta 'waħda mill- (ftit) crazies belt deher li l-pjan kien li jkollha waħda mill-tpatti artisti jiltaqa magħna fil-bieb istadju u Usher us permezz kurituri dojoq sħiħa ta 'Tutu u artisti tight miksi waqt Rita hissed' malajr!, malajr!". I dont naħseb li jkun terriblement ċinika tal lili li wieħed jassumi li nofs il- (30 CUC jew $30)biljetti kinux mixtrija.
Il-ballet kien exquisite u I rikonoxxuti xi wħud mill-żeffiena eleganti u sabiħ I kienu raw mixi madwar il-belt il-qadima (u fl-udjenza l-tfajla I kiteb dwar in "Ittratta Me Like a Princess).

I like this site very much. Rita was a bit of a chancer. “Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.” Baltasar Gracian.
She was a grifter. Amongst other things she told people to give her all their ‘unused medicines’ at the end of their trips. She was a con man disguised as a philanthropist
