I got up twice during the night, woke up again
about 6am and Teresa finally woke/got me up at 7:45.
We are out of milk so I just had a sandwich with
coffee I made myself.
We left the finca at 9:15 and in Caldas first we
stopped at aymará for breakfast. Teresa
had a couple chicken pastries and I had the waffles with strawberries and
whipped cream and we both had coffee. I
understood she was going somewhere for a few minutes while I finished my
breakfast. When she came back she paid
for the total of 17,100. This flyer is
from the bakery/restaurant.
BTW, I asked if they had the Cinnamon rolls
shown in the picture and the waitress checked and reported they didn’t. Another day.
We walked a couple doors up to a small home and
electronics store where we sat down with a lady and her computer. Teresa talked to her for awhile while I
wandered around the store. They had a
nice kitchen counter with sink and cupboards for about 3,000,000 plus that
would look nice in the finca. They also
had several washing machines. Teresa
told me they know her real well there because she has bought everything for the
finca there.
We left and walked back toward the center of
town and I understood she could see some store in the distance was closed. We turned around and we stopped in the same
store again and Teresa asked a quick question.
We walked a block away where she bought a few
vegetables but she left the bag there to pick up later.
We walked back to the store and she sat down and
I understood she was signing some contract.
No money was exchanged but she signed a 3 part form putting a
fingerprint on each page.
We walked down to Merkepaisa market where we
bought a few things including milk for 26mil.
We then stopped at the fruit store where we picked up the other bag we
purchased earlier.
Back at the home and electronics store they
disassembled an exercise machine and carried it out to a covered pickup
truck. We put our bags of groceries in
the back and we got in the front with the owner. He made one stop in town that I understood
was to pick up his son.
His truck didn’t seem to have much of a top
speed but he made it up the hill without any difficulties. I carried down a few bags of groceries,
Teresa brought the rest and the driver and his son carried down the eliptical
machine.
She paid the boy 10mil and the driver 40mil
after they had reassembled everything.
It’s a Sport Fitness eliptical training machine with everything printed on
the machine in English with a Spanish instruction manual.
I told her I wasn’t happy that she bought this
without discussing it with me beforehand but she said she wanted it to be a
surprise for Laura and I. She said she
got a good price on it – 800mil total with payments of 100mil per month due on
the 10th of the month. It does
sound like a pretty good price if it gets used a lot.
By the way, when the workmen were leaving, the
dogs up the hill went crazy with barking and then the Fox Terriers started
barking back. I said "no" but
they didn't pay any attention to me. I
pointed the Dog Repeller out the door and pressed it once and they all stopped
barking at the same time and ran back towards the finca.
I have to admit Teresa and Laura have been using
the exercise machine quite a bit thus far.
And here is a picture of the not yet completed
stairs up to the loft area.
Teresa and Laura wanted to watch a good movie so
Laura found And While we Were Here on
her yaske.net website. After an hour we
gave up on it. I checked imdb.com and it
only has a rating of 5.5.
We watched Return
to Me which Teresa liked very much.
