Ante la presencia de un Guapo

While an important battle, it wasnt the most important or the most decisive battle of the revolution, then why, I ask, 1000s of people get here every year? simply because here a legend was born, a myth: the legend of Ernesto Guevara, whom with a contingent of 300 soldiers attacked the third most important city in Cuba and managed to rise the population in arms against the tirany. Looking at the city, one can imagine herds of farmers, armed with nothing but pitchs, racks and forks throwing themselves against a well armed military, making barricades out of their tractors, molotov bombs out of their home grown rum, and a secret weapon out of a bulldozer... Che's statue and museum are impresive, and even more so his memorial. Pictures, songs, pistols, memorabilia, and a letter, and while reading it, this "farewell letter" to Fidel, more than one visitor allows that one single tear to run thru his cheek as he reaches the end of the letter & then the signature: con un fuerte abrazo revoluvionario, CHE... such love Ernesto had for Fidel, su maestro, su hermano, una despedidad que de verdad te razga el corazón.... but I have started wondering about the why´s of the letter, did it really had to be read preventing a return?..... Fidel, Raul, la CIA...
Tomorrow we head to... bho
