 Fidel's Operational HQ in the Sierra Maestra (c1957-1959). In the top photo note the American fridge brought up through the mountains by men and horse. It caught a Batista bullet when the chrome flashed in the sunlight. We were told Celia Sanchez and Che Guevara would have slept in hammocks in the open with the other rebel soldiers. In the bottom photo I think Celia is second to the right of Fidel. We think that 'Lola' on Fidel's left may be the woman we met at the Moncada Barracks.
