good talk

From Camaguey I Traveled by Private Car to Ciego de Avila, a Nice Town of 85,000, 300 Miles SE of Havana. Ciego had a Couple of Nice Museums, a Nice Square, Pretty Little City. From There to Santa Clara which is in the Middle of Cuba in the Province of Villa Clara. There is the Impressive Mausoleum and Monument to their Hero, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. In October, 1997 Che's Remains were brought Here from Bolivia and Layed to Rest Beneath a Massive Bronze Statue of Che with Rifle. In 1965 the Restless Che went to the Congo to foment Revolution then to Bolivia in 1966 Saying there should be Hundreds of Vietnams. Che's Ambition Meant his Doom as it was Determined that Che was too Dangerous to the U.S. to Live and Was Betrayed to a CIA Led Operation by the Peasants he Was Trying to Help. To Che's and Fidel's Thinking Liberty and Individualism was Corruptive as the Goal was Collective Social Welfare. Fidel turned Che (an Argentinian Affectionate Nickname meaning "Buddy") into a Cult Figure. The Cuban Youth Organization the "Young Pioneers" Motto is "Seremos Como Che," I Want to be Like Che. Che Wrote 2 Books on Guerilla Warfare Which are Standard Textbooks for Revolutionaries Today. The Museo Abel Santamaria was Real Good, Full of Info and Pieces from the War of Independence, Fidel's War and Natural History. A Former Barracks of Batista, Fidel Said that all of Batista's Barracks Should be Turned into Centers of Learning. In Santa Clara there is the Tren Blindado, a Museum of Train Cars Commemorating Che's Attack on a Troop Train of Batista's at the Site on December 12, 1958, it was Pretty Neat. Santa Clara is a Real Nice Town, I Walked (far) to Everything. And the Casa Particulare Interceded for me and I Received a Preferred Seating Pass to the First Game of the Cuban Championship Baseball Series for 2010.
