Life is good
So the hanging out in coffee shops (real coffee shops not some Starbucks clone) drinking café con leche in a guayabera is going swimmingly. I even had a hot pressed Cuban (which is not a businessman in Havana late for a meeting).
I love Cuban bread. There is a 24 hour bakery Maurico Faedo's bakery in Tampa (it closes Saturday night/Sunday morning for Church). It is the real deal. From the Spanish speaking cashier to the palm leaf baked into the hot fresh bread this is what God intended food to be. At Cafeteria Ideal you can get your sandwich on two types of bread, Cuban - a crusty loaf that rewards the diner who wins the battle to get to the meat and Media Noche bread the staple of the Media Noche sandwich the Cuban's cousin. Media Noche bread is not as crusty and a bit sweeter than Cuban bread. La Ideal has both. Simply ecstacy.
Well off to bed to rest up to have another bocadillo tomorrow.
