Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"The Not-so-Secret Suitcase". Cuba. Aug 13. 2016. There is a 90th birthday celebration for Fidel Castro in the town of Santa Clara, Cuba. Maricela is having a mini-nervous breakdown.

Linette gets onto a bus in the beach/tourist district of Varadero. All the other tourists on the bus are going to the museum of Che Guevara. Not Linette. She is on a frantic search to find a specific Cuban woman. Nobody knows why. But the Neighborhood Watch in Cuba? They're waiting, watching and wishing for the event to take place.**I went to Santa Clara on Fidel Castro's 90th birthday: 13 August 2016. I had a bag filled with gifts to give away. I did.

I sat under that tree covered with pink flowers and all the neighbors watched and whispered and waited...) Support the show
