The ground is getting hotter in the island. What about the underground?
Yolanda left Cuba in 2000 and returned a week ago from Havana after visiting her family. She has visited Havana a few times in recent years. This trip, however, was different. It has left her "trulydestroyed." "Doctor, Cuba is over, done. Children are languishing in hunger. They go to school with a tiny bun of bread. " She indicates the size of the piece of bread with her hand. It’s about two inches in diameter. She goes one. "The older ones are falling down on the streets. No coffee is to be found. No milk either. No doctors or even the neighborhoods health posts are open. " The doctors are in hospitals. To get a medical certificate is hard for either a special diet or whatever. Some health care workers steal them from the hospital and make them “available” to the people. They get falsified. Raúl himself has said that the revolutionary coffee is made up of coffee beans mixed with with peas. Yolanda assures me that the peas are s[rayed with some real coffee. In the "Shopping" at the Carlos III in Havana, Yolanda could not use her credit cards. When she asked: Why? And the clerk responded "because Americans do not pay." Yolanda was losing patience. She replied: "You thieves, you are the ones who do not pay!"
