Thank you EC. It means a lot. You are a good friend.
There is a very uniquely Cuban thing that you don't see outside of South Florida.
Cuban restaurants and bakeries (Cuban bakeries are more lunch counters than bakeries) all have a service window. Imagine a walk-up drive through window.
Cubans stand there and buy cafecitos (shots of Cuban coffee) some with steamed milk, others just straight up, and we talk and argue about politics.
There are a lot of heated, loud disagreements about local politics... and beisbol. The two things Cubans are the most passionate about.
Rubio or Cruz, the Marlins of the Bronx Bombers.
There is ONE thing we are always in agreement about.
We hate the Castro brothers.
Tomorrow, I'm going to stop by one of those windows, raise a cup of Cubano in your friend's name, and talk about hating Fidel.
I hope he enjoys that.
