DescriptionHAVANA -- Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro made his first known public appearance since falling ill four years ago in a visit last week to a Havana scientific facility, a blog reported Saturday.

Photographs taken with a cellphone and posted with the pro-government blog showed a smiling Castro, 83, chatting with people said to have gathered around him as he was leaving the National Center of Scientific Investigations.

The blogger, Rosa C. Baez, wrote that Castro was spotted making a "surprise visit" to the center Wednesday and stopped to greet and "throw kisses" to the group that waited for a chance to see him.

"He is thin, but looked good and, according to our director, is very good mentally," said Baez, whose blog appears on a Web site titled "Bloggers and Correspondents of the Revolution."
