I can only imagine how bizarre it would be to have Fidel Castro show up at your door in the morning without warning, but that’s apprently what happened to Hugo Chavez yesterday. Via Cuba Colada:
Fidel Castro paid Hugo Chávez "the visit of the century" when he showed up Tuesday morning, unannounced, at the guest house in Havana where the Venezuelan president was preparing to travel to Denmark for the summit on world climate.
"Yesterday, Fidel arrived at the house where we were preparing the trip to Copenhagen. I had neither had breakfast nor showered," said Chávez in a phone call Wednesday to a Venezuelan radio station.
Chávez said he "flew" into the shower, dressed "in one minute" and then shared breakfast with Castro. The topic of the conversation was the summit in Denmark, he said.
Was he just in the neighborhood?
