We woke up today at around 11:30 am and ate some breakfast at the house. We headed into the San Fernando Plaza to check out Mercadero Street and the more ‘touristy’ areas of Havana before the days matinee was set to start at around 4pm.

Walking around the pedestrian-only area of Havana was fun, and after walking back to Parque Central and snapping some pictures along the way we headed over to La Roca in Vedado for lunch. Our plan was to have a light lunch and head over to a matinee for some action.

We got to La Roca and the prices there are ridiculously low… Our entire meal (and mind you, this is a nice, sit down restaurant) came to around 8 CUC, and we each had more than one beverage. As we were finishing up, a friend of Jonesie’s from the US came to meet us with his girlfriend, and before we knew it it was after 6pm and it wasn’t looking like a matinee was going to happen today.

We headed back to our house to rest up, and Jonesie decided to call in a girl for himself. I wasn’t 100% healthwise on this trip, so I wasn’t in beast mode doing 2-3 chicks a day (I was coming down with the flu, I’d later learn). Jonesie called a girl and she said she’d be there in 30 minutes. An hour later he called her again and she said she’d be there in 5 mins. 30 mins later he called her and told her not to bother coming.

That night we went to dinner at La Fontana in Miramar which was a very nice restaurant, but we had to wait over an hour for the food to be served; so we missed the line-up at La Cecelia. Sometimes its nice to show up to La Cecelia closer to 11pm so that you can see the girls lining up outside and get an idea of your game plan before you go in. Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way though.

We got to La Cecelia and it was happening. I ran into a girl I did on my last trip and she was happy to see me, letting me know that her number hasn’t changed if I wanted to call her… I did a few rounds with Jonesie and he showed me the girl that he had called over for earlier in the day that didn’t show. She was definitely cute, but I wasn’t going to reward her bad behavior by picking her tonight.

Jonesie and I kind of have different styles. Jonesie likes to find a girl, mark his territory and get to work. I like to talk to a bunch of girls and figure out who I get the best vibe from… Maybe its because he’s in Cuba every other week and I’m not. Who knows.

Anyway at La Cecelia the girls tend to all get there by the time the show starts, so when the show started I started doing serious laps. I was really into 3 girls based on looks alone. 2 were civilians and one was with some foreigner that was getting her a drink when I approached her.

Jonesie’s girl was in a rush to go so she decided that she would try to find me a girl as well. So here we were the 3 of us walking around La Cecelia looking for one of maybe a hundred available girls that would be suitable for me to fuck. One thing led to another and I ended up agreeing to terms with a friend of Jonesie’s girl, whose name I never ended up catching.

We got back to the casa and tippy toed in so we wouldn’t wake up the mental patients living there. My girl was a lot of fun in the sack, and had the most ridiculous pale blue eyes. After we were at it for a bit, she whispered to me that it was her first time doing something like this. I looked at her and couldn’t stop laughing. Jesus Christ why was she trying to work angles on me, what the fuck? Anyway, we finished my first nut and were having a drink waiting for mini-me to recover when the other girl knocked on my door to tell my girl it was time to go.

Not again. I told my girl that we agreed on two nuts and she kept saying this and that. Finally I told her I’d only pay her half and she agreed to stay, telling the other girl to wait for her on the porch for as long as it took. 10 minutes later, the other girl knocked on my door again, we told her to fuck off. Every 5 minutes after that until I came a second time, my girl got a phone call from the other girl. Sometimes group mongering isn’t the best mongering…

We finished up and I snapped some pictures, and I got her some money before I took some fully body clothed pictures… Big mistake. She wasn’t happy with what I gave her (we agreed on 70 for 2 pops at the club, with a taxi fare of 10 if she was good and 0 if she wasn’t). I gave her 80. She wanted 10 more for taxi. I told her I’d give her 5 more because I liked her, at which point she kept slapping her elbow and calling me “Tacano” (I think) which means cheap in Cuban slang. After 10 mins of this she relented and said okay give me the 5 more. I said fuck that, I’m cheap remember? And I sent her off. I need to remember to take my pictures before the money thing… Whatever, I got a picture of her on the toilet, it’ll have to do.

Jonesie and I went to the porch after the girls left to bullshit for a bit, and before long the casa owner was out there turning the lights out on our porch, telling us that she didn’t want to attract attention to the house… (Uh, lady? Your casa is registered and legit, isn’t it?) Turns out this lady has a license to rent rooms to Cubans, not to foreigners. You can tell because such people have a Red License, as opposed to the typical Blue Casa Particular License that covers foreigners.

Bro, I can't apologize enough for my girls busting up your fun just so they could carpool...

I'm laughing because it seems like this was the perfect storm for shit happening. Usually, there's one thing that goes awry per trip. I should be set for about 20 smooth trips now...

I've laughed about this trip so much with my stateside friends... Next time I'm going to rent a car and check out the countryside.

Practically all Cuban casa owners have something to hide; it's a cat-and-mouse game they play with the authorities/inspectors with the inspectors sometimes turning a blind eye with the right tip. I suspect you guys were moved around a lot on this trip because the casa owners had a tip-off they were going to get inspected for something; maybe they're only supposed to have one rent-paying tenant at a time in which case the two of you are above their limit.

The incident with the porch light being turned off is similarly related; the need to hide from nosy and jealous neighbors the casa owner's extra money-making racket.

I'm actually more disappointed to read about how the chicas take advantage of the group monger dynamic. I definitely would not appreciate some chica knocking on my door trying to get my date for the night to leave when I'm still busy with her! Makes me think I'll stick with solo mongering should I ever return to Cuba.
