Que bola asere?

What´s happening brother?

We were to leave Lima at noon with a quick 40 minute lay over in San Jose Costa Rica and then on to Cuba. We arrived in San Jose in dense fog. We boarded the plane and then waited for two hours, nice bar service mind you, only to be told we were disembarking as the weather was bad. We were given two options, stay in the airport waiting for information or go to a hotel for 5 hours. We tried to leave, by low and behold, we didn´t have our yellow fever immunization cards with us ... 11 months of traveling and no mention of the cards, one night in costa rica and we are stuck sleeping on indoor outdoor turf because we don´t have the cards???!!!!

We finally arrived in Havana 10 hours late to learn that they gave our room away to someone else, they say because we didn´t show up but we believe it was long gone before we didn´t show up!! Luckily they found us another room in a friendly casa. Today is sightseeing and maybe some picture taking, although this slow internet for $3.00 a half an hour, may not allow us to post any pics. We will keep you posted on highlights none the less.

Alive and well in Cuba!
