Dearest Phyllee: Things get tangled up & unentangled at I don't know who's whim. Maybe God's? Like I said, all the most unexpected things happen, you get the most unexpected replies. |

GASP! You have no idea what you are getting into by letting a couple of Cubans invite themselves to South Africa. We are no longer arriving on August 8. But you know, there are no short bottom line stories with me. I have to give you all the environment, all the thrills of the ambiance. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Ok Phyllis this is the last update before I pedal my way to Claras to give here this letter. I had a chest x-ray & an electro cardio gram and guess what? Everything is normal, except that my heart is on the wrong side. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Its odd writing a date with three straight nines. Its like your car is getting to the end of its mileage, or like it’s a discount year, “on sale.” Anyway, I guess this is going to be a long long letter I’ve been meaning to write to you ever since you left. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Sunday again a quiet Sunday, for a change. Only problem is that the rainy season has now been delayed for two whole weeks. The heat is unbearable, and I can judge the consequences of the lack of rain in my back yard. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
It seems like all my letters begin like…”It’s been a helluva week.” Well, its true. Im exhausted, dead tired. And I can’t wait for Monday to write to you, because Monday will even be worse. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
I finally remembered that black ink is kinder for your eyes, its 5:45 pm of mothers day, a big thing here in Cuba, more than workers day, and mom lies on the couch under the mango's tree, asleep after a hectic day of kissing and visits of grandsons and phone calls. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Monday again, and that means its time to well, in the first place, to find a new pen, and secondly, to write to you---what? The fourth/ the fifth? The sixth straight weekly mail. I lost track. |
 |
Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Its Tuesday, im two days late in my weekly mail. For Latinos, Tuesday the 13th is what Friday 13th is for Anglos. But im not particularly superstitious. At least not today. But let me tell how my week was. |

Letter from David Gonzalez to Phyllis Naidoo |
Its Sunday again, so I am writing you a letter as I promised. Fourth letter in four weeks you should be receiving the first one anytime now or perhaps you will be receiving the one Clara says she left at the embassy in Pretoria. |
