Monday Dec. 20 - After lieing/sleeping in till 9:30 AM, I had break- fast and leisurely assembled my bike. I test rided it and it works great. This is the second trip for my Moulton. The first was in Europe a few months earlier. Yesterday we had a wonderful conversation in Cancun with Andrew, a mandolin player and fellow stranded passenger, who has lived in Cuba for 7 years. He is a musician married to a Cuban and gave us an earfull of his views. Anyway, he ran out of money and could not get back to Cuba without 40 dollars for a transit visa. Bob and I lent this to him so he could return. He promptly paid us at the airport upon arrival, a very responsible person. He said we saved his life. So I guess there was a good reason for us missing the plane. We have a wonderful group of fellow cyclists, actually more women than men. Tonight I will be early in bed. I bought toilet paper at a dollar store that even takes Visas (except for American). The store was just like in the USA. Some people here have alot of money. It even sold huge Korean refrigerators brand new taller than me (186 cm).
