It was nice to ride with Bob again like the old times 5 months earlier where we met on the Bicycle Zimbabwe trip. I changed my front brakes today and gave the old ones to the group leader short Pedro. He said in Cuba, these are very good brakes, we can get at least 3 - 6 months out of these. The lady acted like she was an old friend or sister, who gave us water. We had a nice conversation for 10 minutes and then left.
People here are so warm and friendly and hospitable.
You have a sense that the whole country really is your family. I don't know if this experience could happen in the USA at some strangers house. I think socialism has given the people in Cuba a greater sense of family. The food here is so incredibly good. I think I might actually gain weight, even with all the cycling.
