My voice echoed from the empty expanse and bare walls.
The bar was still visible and I could only imagine the noise of the roulette wheel and the electronic noise from the one-armed bandits and all the action and people gathered there back then.
What a great experience that visit was.
I did it again a few days later and was still impressed and awed by the place.
As to the Casa del Tabaco and Juanita - she was, like me, suffering from a tough case of coughing and bronchitis, so I shared with her the medicine my wife had sent over.
But still, the best medicine was her warm smile, her familiar hospitality, her cigars and the bottle of rum on the table that Norbert, Hannes, Tobias and I shared.
What can I say - I see myself back in that bar having a quiet drink and a good cigar.
Soon.
