In light of our preparation to visit Cuba in December 2006, Rani and I have been reading so many books about the place as well as watching films with the same subject.
If you have an interest in Cuba, Fidel Castro or Che Guevara, I’d like to recommend you to watch a documentary film on Fidel Castro that I borrowed from National Library in Singapore. The film title is “Fidel: The Untold Story”, a film by Estella Bravo readily available at Amazon.com. Please, let me know what you think about the film, good or bad.
I hope it is not an exagerration in my part to refer to our upcoming travel to Cuba as a “pilgrimage”, as it is indeed a term primarily used in religion and spirituality of a long journey or search of great moral significance. The story about Cuba, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara has indeed made a great impact on how Rani and I see the world we live in.
Cuba is not sacred to us but we sincerely hope that, by being there and immersing ourselves with the Cuban culture, our beliefs and faith in humanity will be reinforced and that we will seek enlightenment on what it takes to stand firm (just like Asterix and Obelix against the Roman Empire).
As for Noe, I believe he would be genuinely interested to dance to Mambo, Son, Rhumba and the sound of waves crashing on El Malecón.
Come join us for a pilgrimage to Cuba.
Bamos!
