I MISS everything - I don't know why I'm upset. I miss Uruguay. I feel that after 18 years I have put down roots there, it is where I belong and that I go to Guantánamo as a tourist.

I miss everything - I don't know why I'm upset. I miss Uruguay. I feel that after 18 years I have put down roots there, it is where I belong and that I go to Guantánamo as a tourist. After waiting for a while we go to bathe and let ourselves be dragged by the current a few meters without losing sight of ourselves. The boys have brought a bottle of Habana Club and making a circle they pass it one by one while they joke happily. I do not participate, I am sitting next to my mother and I put an arm around her shoulder. My other brother does the same.    Dusk. The boys pick mangoes to take home and continue eating. We are back in the middle of the night. My wife makes me a red bean soup that I like. Already bathed, I go out into the hall to take the cool and I don't know why I'm upset. I miss Uruguay. I feel that after 18 years I have put down roots there, it is where I belong and that I go to Guantánamo as a tourist. DR ORLANDO VICENTE ALVAREZ.
