We then stopped at LM and she had a FriSnack and a corn on
the cob for about 15mil. I wasn’t hungry
but she fed me a few pieces anyway while I read my Nook book. She dropped off her purchases at her house
and we took a taxi to her cousin and aunt’s apartment complex for 9mil. About half of the apartment parking area was
roped off for music, a dance area, chairs, and booths selling food and a few
other wares. Her cousin and aunt were
manning a booth where they were selling breaded chicken strips that they would
then fry in oil. They also had what I
think was fried arepa that they sold. I
tried them and liked them both. We tried
a number of food items I had never tasted before and I liked everything. I asked Beatriz to remember everything we had
because I want her to write their names down later.
There were a few pretty senoritas and senoras there. I bought a thin “blanket” for my bed for
12mil that they were selling at the booth next to where we were sitting. They told me it wasn’t really a blanket I
think it’s intended to be more of a body wrap.
It fits almost perfectly on my bed and is just that extra thin layer I
need besides the sheet for cool evenings.
It got pretty cool up there high in the hills as the evening
wore on. If I was a little smarter I
probably would have worn a long sleeved shirt.
We left about 9:30 and I took my medicine as soon as I got home.
I went to bed at 10:30, got up twice during the night, was
awakened by a scraping sound like someone trying to scrape frosting out of a
bowl, and finally woke/got up at 8am.
After my coffee and newspaper I returned a pair of shoes
Beatriz had left in my apartment and then bought milk at the corner store for
my cereal.
This week I think I solved 5 of the crossword puzzle clues
in the Gente newspaper:
Dictador de la antigua Roma: NERO
Alta definición de TV: HD
Capone mafioso: AL
El vampiro mas famoso: DRACULA
I took a little nap from about 10:30 to 11:30. I heard some sounds upstairs like someone
moving furniture around. I wonder if
they have a new tenant. After all it is
the first of the month soon.
I left for Sport Wings at 22 minutes to noon and was there
in 17 minutes. They found the FOX
station quickly but it was the Minnesota vs Pittsburgh
I ordered the cheeseburger with no bacon and “no rojo”
meaning “not red”. It was funny when the
water repeated “no carne (beef) rojo (red)” and I said “carne si; rojo
no”. When it came it was cooked
perfectly but there is so much mayonnaise on both buns I think next time I’ll
order it without. And when I tried to
cut it in half a big slice of cheese came out, uncut, so I think I’ll also skip
the cheese next time.
The Chicago Bears ended up losing 40-32 to the Detroit Lions. L
The burger was 19,500, 3 cokes were 3,500 each, and a
milkshake was 8,500 for a total of 41,797 ($22) including tax & tip
(9.25%).
On the walk back to my apartment I ran into Bob &
Margarita at Redd’s bar so I stayed and talked to them, read my book from my
iPad and watched the A/N vs Equidad soccer game that started at 5:30. It ended in a 0-0 tie.
I left about 8:15 and on the way back to my apartment I ran
into Beatriz who was on her way to the corner store to buy something. I went with her and then she invited me into
her house and we talked to her son and daughter and her boyfriend for a
while. She showed me her son’s Communion
pictures and her daughter’s Communion and Quincenera pictures. Communion is at age 9 and Quincenera is at
age 15.
She invited me to join them next weekend (Saturday &
Sunday) to a finca to celebrate my birthday.
She also gave me the list of things we had to eat last night:
Panzerotti
Solterita
Pinchos de pollo con arepas fritas
Palitos de queso con bocadillo
Salpicon con helado
I’ll Google these later to make sure I have the spelling
correct and I can match the pictures with what I remember.
