Ernesto Che Guevara

As I have mentioned the Lynch family to you a lot of times, I am going to tell you a curiosity. Do you know that the Argentine revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara has its roots in Ireland? Irish people say that his great-grandmother emigrated from Galway to South America. Besides, it is well-known that he visited Dublin in 1964.

We're waiting for you

Ernesto”.
