After spending two weeks in Havana, Cuba this summer I have remained interested in what happens in that beautiful country. This week there were two important events on the Caribbean island at which Fidel Castro Ruz did not appear. Today, December 2 is the 50th anniversary of the precipitating incident of the Cuban revolution. Fidel's appearance was widely expected and his absence was not mentioned. In addition, this week was the official state celebrations of the 80th birthday of their former "Dear Leader," which had been postponed from his actual birthday after he delegated his brother Raúl Castro to run the country in his stead.Of course some people are happy that Fidel Castro is not going to be controlling what happens in Ciba for much longer. I just hope that whatever comes next improves life for the majority of Cubans on the island.
