Something new has been added here. The tourists don’t come to see Fidel Castro; Fidel comes to see the tourists.
Just a few hours before the cruise ship Berlin was scheduled to sail, a Cuban patrol boat came alongside. I had heard the siren and knew an official boat was about, so I hauled myself up and poked my head through the porthole. The tall figure ascending the ship’s ladder certainly looked like Castro, but it hardly seemed likely that the boss of Cuba would be coming aboard a visiting foreign ship without fanfare or invitation.
