I think it was 1996 the first time I went to Cuba. While there I met an American there named Ray. He owns a winery in Oregon. We met in Havana and would meet to recap our days wandering the city on our own. We split the price on a car to Matanzas and here Ray introduced me to Juan Carlos who I have seen on numerous later visits to Cuba. We then pooled our resouces for a taxi to Varadero each to catch his own plane home.
Ray is festooned with a huge white Santa beard and hair to match and equiped with that two fisted american free enterprise attitude.
I sent him an email but never heard from him and wasnt too concerned,so.....
imagine my surprise when low and behold whodo you think I see sitting at atable outside abar in PP
Yup, heres Ray large as life.Did he remember me, yes but not the name and i think he needed a little prodding.
Yeah we talked a little, talked of Juan etc. He spends a lot of time here. Has a school in the country he provides for www.anywayfoundation.org. Gotta have a look see.
