During the Havana portion of our trip to Cuba, we stayed at the Hotel Capri. I mentioned this in my review of Havana Nocturne because it’s one of the hotel-casinos that the Mob built in the 1950s.

The bartender at the rooftop bar of the Hotel Capri decided that Rick looked like Ernest Hemingway, with his beard and canvas hat. After that, he insisted that we order daiquiris! It’s a good thing that it turned out we liked them.
