Maybe family?

So I'm going to Harris Teeter today after working out at Curves (love it) and I hand the guy my check...he sees our last name & says, "Isn't that the same last name as the guy who always wears the beret? Are you related to him?" I think he was talking about this guy:

I don't know if we're related since Che is dead and he's probably not wearing his beret anymore. But we do know that as Che made his way up through Latin America & over to Cuba, he stayed a while in Veracruz which is where Hubs is from. And he did have at least one child while there. Distant cousins?? Probably not. But the thought is fascinating...

While I don't agree with everything Che said and/or did, I do have respect for what originally motivated him.

Bonus points for anyone who can name who Che helped overthrow to put Castro in power in Cuba. Without looking it up.

Hello, Beth. Found my way over here from Miles' blog, and thought I'd answer your trivia question because I watched a movie about it a few weeks ago.

It was Batista!
