  • Summary

  • One of the seven people Papa and Marty hired to run the Finca was twenty-six year-old Maria Petrona Lopez, from the fishing village of Cojímar. Papa knew the village well, as he docked the Pilar in its little harbor. Each morning, except Sunday, Maria would take the twelve-mile bus ride from her family’s little house near La Terraza Restaurant, to the front gates of the farm. Though it was only twelve miles, the rickety, stop-and go-journey often took more than an hour each way. Passengers got on and off the bus with heavy loads of fruits, vegetables, and chickens. Goats, and even pigs, were sometimes tethered to steel rails on the roof.

    Maria had five children. One was named Manolin.
