LA ATENCIÓN SANITARIA EN BAYAMO ES EXCELENTE, DIGAN LO QUE DIGAN

Hospital Carlos Manuel de Céspedes de Bayamo, Granma. No conozco los elementos de ese juicio, por lo cual no puedo emitir una opinión; pero de lo que sí estoy…

February 1st, Bayamo to Baracoa

Breakfast at 7:00, while presentation and service was very nice, fruit was papaya only, juice, watered down papaya and no butter for the small pieces of bread, only mayoand eggs. Shared my P.B. 😉

Hopped into a horse drawn carriage and were given a 45 minute tour of the city. It was really nice. Saw the 1st convent in Cuba, and the homes of the first two presidents of Cuba, the first being Carlos de Cespedes. The first sanctioned outdoor burial ground of the leaders of the revolution of 1868. Previously all burials were in churches. We travelled along a road where all trees had been destroyed by the last big hurricane, all the trunks have been carved into animals and they line both sides of the street. Last a monument to all of those that have died in the revolutions.

Left the beautiful state owned hotel, to get on the road. They were not able to supply us with the box lunch of ham sandwiches as they have a shortage of bread. Plan on stopping at roadside vendors to get fruit etc for lunch.

In the eastern part of the island still lots of old cars but mostly European or Russian models as opposed to North American. We did see what appeared to be a Cuban military base and they seemed to be initiating some new recruits. 

Stopped at a roadside stand a bought a large bunch of bananas for 100 pesos and a string of clementines for 200 pesos. Later again, we stopped in a small town and purchase small cheese 8” pizzas/tacos for 50 pesos each.

As we drove along, country fences are now made of different kind of cacti planted so close together that animals can not pass through. Brilliant idea.

In the last few days I have tried to summarize what I think I heard from our CEO and signage I’ve seen, however, due to no internet I have not been able to fact check, so I hope I am recording the proper facts.

So, during our ride today, we talked about the revolution again where Cuba revolted against Spain. The first revolution lasted 10 years from 1868 to 1878 and was not successful. Again they attempted in 1895 led by Matta, by 1998 they were actually seeking help from the Americans. The Americans came to their aid and there was a big naval battle that ended the revolution and occupation of Spain. Cuban thought they had gained their independence but the Platt clause from the US Government, was that if Cuba wanted to be an independent country, they had to allow a army base and that the US could intervene if Cuban leadership became questionable. Thus the Guatamanno Bay base. 

Takes a long time to get anywhere as you share the road with bicycles, horses and carts, rickshaws, motor bikes and cars and trucks. Flagged down by a police officer today, and when we stopped he was trying arrange a ride for his grown nephew on our bus. Answer was no.

We stop for our lunch at 2:30 p.m. at a beach on the Caribbean Sea where we had our pizza, pineapple, tomatoes and bananas. No sand on these beaches just polished rock and pieces of washed up coral. Proceeded to travel on a winding road through the mountains to Baracoa, for several hours. All S curves.

Arrive at our Casa around 5:30 p.m., Casa Elvira. Larry and I are on the 3rd floor and have an outdoor patio area on the roof. It is a  very interesting home and we are going to enjoy our few days here. The place is owned by Elvira and Alfredo. We joined our group for a short walk around the city, but it was dark already, so we headed to our dinner place which was a private house dinner. The chef was amazing. We started with bread and papaya juice and cream of pumpkin soup, then tomatoes, cucumber, yams, plantain and coconut milk mixed and green beans. A curry coconut sauce was provided with the vegetables. Main course was sword fish, chicken deep fried jams and another root vegetable. Dessert was sliced papaya and marinated glazed orange peel with cinnamon served with espresso coffee. Could hardly walk and all for 1440 pesos each. Walked back to the Casa, showered and to bed. Big day tomorrow.

The population of Santiago de Cuba protests shouting "electricity" and "food"

Havana / Thousands of Santiago residents took to the streets this Sunday afternoon shouting "electricity and food", "freedom", "homeland and life" and "we are hungry" after several days of long blackouts and delays of weeks in the distribution of food from the basic basket. The agglomeration was concentrated on Carretera del Morro, close to several popular and humble neighborhoods such as Vista Hermosa, Van Van, Dessy and Altamira. After the first images of the crowded demonstration appeared on social media after noon, the Cuban regime chose, as has been customary in these cases since July 11, 2021, to restrict communications and cut the internet signal on cell phones in the island. The independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada, born in Santiago de Cuba and resident in the United States, shared several images that the followers of his Facebook page sent from the city, and that show a strong police operation that includes uniformed officers guarding part of the protest and several patrols at the scene. The secretary of the province's Communist Party, Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, recently appointed to the position, arrived at the site. In a video that Mayeta published, the woman is seen along with other people on the roof of a house trying to talk to the crowd, but those gathered there do not allow her to speak. Dozens of people, mainly women, insult the PCC leader and other officials, and protest against the military presence used in these cases to repress the people. In the images you can see a truck loaded with soldiers, also shouted down by the crowd. Then they chant “homeland and life (patria y vida)” and, finally, while applauding, “freedom.”

In the same video, a soldier from the Ministry of the Armed Forces with the rank of lieutenant colonel appears among the protesters and other materials show dozens of police officers in the place but at the moment there are no reports that the security forces have intervened in the protest. In other material, which apparently records the moment when Johnson arrived at the site, people shout “no queremos muela,” in reference to the fact that they did not want to listen to the excuses that the regime always gives to the people to justify its bad administration. Residents of Santiago de Cuba told this newspaper that this Saturday, March 16, in some areas of the city "they began to distribute in the warehouses only three pounds of rice" out of the seven they receive each month, in addition to the coffee that corresponded to January. “Everything is expensive, hunger has us suffocated, and add to this the blackouts, which don't even let you cool some water or preserve the little food you get,” said a resident of the town of El Caney. In another of the videos that circulates on networks, you can mainly see women of various ages, mothers with their children in their arms and young people in the street shouting “electricity and food” while uniformed men and men in civilian clothes try to make them quiet but the protesters shout louder their claims.  Likewise, another resident of the place shouts "down with communism", "down with Díaz-Canel" and shortly after several women are shown applauding and shouting "electricity and food."

In the city of Bayamo, in the province of Granma, there were also demonstrations this Sunday. Videos circulating on social networks show a crowd in the streets, some people walking and others moving on bicycles, tricycles and electric motorcycles. Also some photographs published by the independent press indicate the presence of police and trucks loaded with soldiers ready to repress.  On the other hand, after 7 pm, a report arrived at the 14ymedio editorial office stating that, in Holguín, where several protests have been registered in recent days , some of the main parks such as Calixto García, Las Flores and José Martí have been militarized. “There are dozens of motorcycle officers, plainclothes agents, and patrol cars, as well as cars loaded with avispas negras (black wasps, special forces) ,” describes a city resident. “They expect something or fear repercussions in Holguín from the Santiago demonstrations,” he adds. “It seems that it was an urgent 'shock' to the provincial authorities, a large part of the center is militarized and with many civilian security personnel,” says the same source, who assures that due to surveillance, photos cannot be taken. In other provinces such as Sancti Spíritus you cannot make calls nor does mobile data work.
