Hemingway Adventure
Havana, Cuba (ninth day)

There is no trace of any dissipation in the darkened entrance where an unimpressive menu is advertised and no one on the staff seems to know or care if Hemingway used to bring his family here for Sunday lunch.
So we go across the road and eat our meal in the small back room of another Chinese establishment - not too small, however, for a six-piece band to squeeze in and supply 'Guantanamera' with the steamed rice.
A last round of mojitos at the Patio restaurant in the fine old Cathedral Square. Normally at this time the place is ringed with professional ladies weighing up business prospects, but tonight I'm told there has been one of the periodic police crackdowns and only the real die-hards are left.
