14 August I found Polito Torres!!!!!!!

I have not been able to publish anything on the blog until now...many many things have happened in this week...

The most amazing was to finally find Polito Torres..... I will publish the interview later on the blog.
What do you say to a campesino revolutionary who was fighting next to the Che to free Cuba? I admit I was quite nervous when I shook his hand...
The first thing he asked me sitting on his porch in Manzanillo, next to la Sierra Maestra, was<'where are you from?' and when I said'From Sardinia' I had a reply I never would have expected....
'I was in Italy a few years ago and of the 22 cities I visited the place that I enjoyed the most is your island Sardinia, are you from Cagliari?' .....I was about to fall off my chair when I heard this...."
The rest will follow shortly once I finished editing the interview...all I can say for now is that it has been one of the strongest experiences of my life so far....

See you all soon
