the house of Che

Yesterday we were treated to a dreary londonesque winters day, good for lazing in bed (we have our own TV! in our room) and watching movies... today the sun is out and while the weather is crisp it´s nice to be outside walking around. Its a short bus ride to Alto Gracia one of the childhood towns of Ernesto Che Guevara. To honor him is a small museum in his former family home. His birthday was yesterday and the remnants of a party were still visible. The bike from his first trip through South America was there.. yes the Motorcylce diaries bike! wicked!
Most surprising thing I learnt today, this time last year Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro were visiting the museum to honor Che. I was not aware of how deep his friendship with the Cuban dictator had been.
