I had the chance to be last week in Cartagena, Colombia, where the 2006 Central American and Caribbean sport games (http://www.cartagena2006.gov.co/jucar/Home/defaultPage.aspx) took place, in which Cuba, unsurprisingly, got the first place (285 medals), over Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and on. I got to meet Antonio Castro, one of Fidel's youngest son (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_castro#Family) who is head physician of the Cuban delegation. He was very kind, with no security around, and after I told him "say hi to the commandant", he said, "I'd be pleased."
