Havana

Get fortune told in the Old Square by a flamboyant Cuban woman with lots of rings on her fingers who speaks no English and I speak no Spanish. She has a friend who acts as interpreter. After much slapping of thighs she announces I have trouble with my knees.
"You don’t need to pay 10 dollars to be told that," says Malcolm.
OK I was conned. So what. It added to the carnival atmosphere.
