Ergens onderweg in Pinar del Rio kwamen we deze opgewekte man tegen. Hij vertelde ons dat het zijn droom zou zijn om accordeon te leren spelen. Hopelijk is zijn droom uitgekomen! (deze foto is een scan)
Onderstaande songtekst voor het maandthema november 2011 vond ik passend bij hem.
Nat King Cole: Smile

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Dankzij hem bleef die smile me de hele dag bij.
