Roberto - said with rolling R's.

We decided to go back to Havana on Thursday to see Roberto Fonseca at the Jazz Club. 

We had just gotten through the door and Alison Pearl came over and greeted us.  She had brought Roberto to Lismore when he came to Australia so they had given her two tables in the front row.  That made five of us from Mullumbimby sitting watching adoringly right up against the stage.

Roberto really is the worlds most beautiful man and watching him play is an experience worth having.  His drummer is also amazing.  They were a four piece who were having a lot of fun.

Havana, in fact Cuba in general has been really fantastic.  The people are beautiful and friendly, even the hustlers.

The food has been great if not over the top.  The music speaks for itself.  Though I never need to hear Guantanamera again.  The heat.  The buildings. The art. The culture.

I have loved it.
