Those visionaries 1960  who gave us UHURU Tanganyika 1961 joined Those in the PICTURE you Mohamed Lodhi sent yesterday - Che Guevara,  Fidel Castro and the Third person  who did " try try try 1960-... til...?   to Overcome and Overthrow the Colonial Capitalist Empire " to the NORTH " but  did not  and cannot get past  Latitude 45 NORTH  - as True North Canada and  TRUE NORTH SIBERIA share One Polar Ice Cap that is melting away..! 

O for a nice warm Night cap  back to Mexico and  Cuba  we go..and from there  back to IBERIA and its  SPANISH EYES "blue" it is true for some, but also brown and black for many, can see, as well as can hear with Hispanic ears what is spoken -even in Portugal and GOA Overseas living there..

The mouths and tongues make Sounds as do BASQUES like Sebastien Iradier,  but more so through his Music Instrumentals Viva Hispaniola!  La Paloma lives on .."She" (The DOVE)  gets cosy in a SLOW BOAT to China.  "She" stays with her Beloved MasterOwner till He reaches the North Pole - Its all O so sweet and cosy- until they reach their in the ICE PALACE in Sweden Norway and Finland enjoy serious rapport with Siber-Cyberspace.   There  No one ever has to say  to the FINNISH "Finis"  or Finito  No No! Never to Benito who I thank every time I write to KPZan, while Loving the Empire State Skycraping - Glory Glory  Allelujah  and all the way to  New York Border where  Niagara Falls never  rise. 

I am now closer to the Pinto Family along the 49th Parallel !  than I may have been had I chosen to return to Unguja 1964 - from Kenya which has second generation Kenyattas - stayed United to the UNITED Kingdom,  UNITED States andother s Islands in the Sun. 

 All's well that ends well  ( says Shakespeare)  No matter what choice we made. 

                                                            

Cheers !  with Beers or whatever .. JULY 4  is near .. Hear ! Hear!

Thanks Ben,

The man is also known as VASILY IGOREVICH YELAGIN (ELAGIN)

You and most of our family members have just one name !.. I do recall your wonderful close relative through Big Sister - in Canadawas chosen to go to ANTArctic Ice Cap Rock solid as rock can be is that ANTI dote to all things POLAR NORTE..! including Empires..we are now in a Bi POlar world of choice and decision.

But I do wish to add my special personal tid bit.. to this whole story of Frozen lands.

My FIRST time ever in a Plane bigger than Fokker Friendship Zanzibar - Nairobi Entebbe and back ..1958-64..in my College years that ended 1964. was in AUGUST 1970 6 years later.

I Left Mombasa changed plane - to London UK in order to catch a charter days later to Vancouver.. It was arranged by Hubby and a Business friend living in East Africa.

As it turned out the Charter left as we ( Genny Cardozo De Lord and I ) were at the India Business Man Office in London to get the tickets - he sadly said there had been a mistake on the dates.. next one in ten days time !! Ho Ho PINTO ..Mom and Dad so eager to see their "girl" again...I was crushed..but it was My First Ever visit to L O N D O N .the GREAT CITY of the GREATEST EMPIRE everexciting enough to help me over come my disappointment.. Ten days later I did take off -Our Plane went OVER the POLE to Seattle because there was a strike in the Airport ( Control tower I think) Vancouver More than a dozen buses and ours lined up for yet another ride along a spectacular way to cope with another delay !

My parents of course could not bear it any more and insisted Elaine and Husband came to find me and there they were going bus to bus... I saw them but did not recognise sister.. so chnaged after 6 years and I had met Husband only once at their engagement in Mombasa 1964!.. I was so surprised when the bus door opened and she pointed to me and said.>"that's her!" She knows me why ? I wiondered...Then the bus driver said "Maam, can you get your stuff and leave..? " Wonders never cease but I recognised her when she was able to talk ... her distinct accent - something about the way a Big sister communicates. Of course we went through the regular automobile libe after that and parted with the Buses.

That flight over the Pole ..was a once in a lifetime event- most were Young people just out of or into College or travelling for fun Free drinks chatty airline staff every one free to move around the whole cabin. So much laughter and fun ..

I felt "old" at 28 I was wife and Mom of 4 little ones left back at home ..It all comes back now .. with Mohamed Lodhi triggering me off with ONE PHRASE "Empire to the North"

As they say in "Star Wars" The Empire stikes back I say woith the BEATTLES from Liverpool life go on and on Oblai Bla Da ...Sky's the Limit! or that "yellow submarine."

Hope you Betty and Family are doing well .. to keep the Bright lights glowing !
