A beautiful rose in Càndes-St-Martin
We made the traditional pilgrimage to light a candle in memory of Rich’s mom, Anita. This year we walked down to the church in Cándes on her birthday. Hopefully, Vladimir remembered to light a candle in Redwood City for his grandmother. If not, we will do it together when we get back.
I wanted to light a candle in memory of the Cuban Revolution which is considered to have started on this day in 1953 with the assault on the Moncada Barracks signaling the beginning of the end for the Bautista regime. Barack Obama made no mention of the continuing embargo against the Revolution in his speech in Berlin. Does he plan to continue the embargo when he becomes the 11th president to menace the Cuban people or is he offering hope to them too?
We had coffee at the Brocante des Metiers where I bought another copy of the Petit Larousse Illustré (the 1910 edition).
