His mornings were always equal to many years under the table to buy flour in the bakeries of the state, obtain eggs street vendors bring in their backpacks, negotiate the price of guava to the farmers market so you can make a profit. With the ups and downs depending on the level of repression against the lawlessness that there are, can maintain a decent home selling pastries.
But the business is too complicated: Twice he had to go to the near side of the cake through the window of the courtyard when they arrived because the hiding of finance inspectors. Thank God that does not happen often!. When you succeed, put the almonds on the cake that he sends his sister to Miami, where he has a small pastry quite prosperous. It started, like her, in 2000, doing everything alone but over the years has taken on an assistant and now has a modest deal that provides much of the candy to the neighborhood.
He tells me everything with infinite longing, envy of her healthy sister of the other party that has managed to make inroads. I ask if he thinks that Raul Castro will make some economic liberalization, facilitation of small business permits and those little things that make life easier. We ride up but it seems that his eyes are too old-cry, my child, I do not give anything, I got tired of waiting.
