Thursday - Dec. 30 1999 - Today was the first really leisurely breakfast. At 10:30 we pedaled 7 km to Santa Cruz del Norte where we started the trip. The truck had bought us here from Habana. I bought 2 pizzas some postcards for Bob and mailed 3 of my own. Since it was not a tourist town, I bought my stamps for 1 1/2 Cuban Pesos instead of 1 1/2 US Dollars. We arrived back for a leisurely pack up of the bike. I gave Pedro cables, brake pads, tires, bell ( with Bambi on it for Claudia) , tubes and a handlebar bag. We had a light dinner. This trip had half the amount of food of the last trip. I am still surviving from my sardines. We danced a little after dinner. I re- member they played Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier" which I first heard in April 1983 in Jahmaica when it came out before it hit the states. Earlier I took a nice walk on the beach and talked to a man fishing sardines for dinner. Tomorrow at 5:30 AM the truck will takes us back to the airport. Alfredo had the day off today to be with his 13 year old son for his birthday. Isn't that nice, he must be a good father. Alfredo is the chaufeur of the truck and the funniest most fantastic, sweetest mellowest guy around, even though we just barely understand one another when we speak. Alfredo is learning English and I am learning Spanish.
