Last night I fell asleep quickly, got up twice during the
night, finally waking at 6am and getting up at 6:30.
I think maybe my cold has ended as I don’t notice any
symptoms. We’ll see how the day
progresses.
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.
I occasionally took a peek at the World Cup matches being shown on
screens in front of the treadmills. I
think Korea vs Germany and Sweden vs Mexico were both 0-0 at the end of the
first half. Then Sweden went up 1-0. Near the end of both matches a group of men
were keeping an eye on the Korea
vs Germany match and there
was a shout out when Korea Germany pulled their goalie and Korea Sweden was up 3-0 over Mexico Colombia
playing Senegal
Laura and I had lunch at La
Casita Parilla for 26,000 pesos. She went to work for a while at the kindergarten and I
stopped at the nearby copy center and had a few pages printed.
Back at the apt I made myself a glass of iced tea. I really need a little lemon to finish it off
correctly.
Laura sent me a link to the video she made for her au pair
profile. The only problem is that she
made it outdoors and the audio is too weak.
I recommended she make it indoors.
She said she’s got a friend to will help her with that.
Laura came back at 7pm, changed clothes and headed to the
gym. Teresa came back about 20 minutes
later. She told me John wants to watch
the Colombia
Well, about my cold, I had to blow my nose once towards the
end of my workout at the gym this morning and again in the afternoon so I think
my cold is nearing an end. Unfortunately,
Laura has a cold so I’m hoping she doesn’t give it to me.
Tomorrow at 9am, Colombia
with 3 points (1 Win, 1 Loss) plays Senegal Colombia Colombia
About 8:30 it started raining and it was still raining when
we went to bed at 11pm.
If your dictionary told the truth: Tomorrow (n.) The best
time to do everything you had planned for today.
Hi Terry, I follow you all the time love the daily entries. You might try the liquor dept of Exito or someplace that sells liquor for some lemon juice for your tea.

I could try but i'm afraid here that what they all consider lemons, we call them limes. I've only seen, and then one time, lemons marked as imported lemons in Euro supermarket in Mayorista.
DeleteI see you often take the buses along Avenida Poblado. Is there a guide to which ones go where? I have your information on the Metro buses, but there are so many others. I was hoping there were a couple that you use regularly to get around that you could recommend for going to Envigado and Laureles, and also PriceSmart. We live on Calle 3 sur near Banco Occidental. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThe only guide is to look on the windshield to see what major stops it makes. But that way you'll have to be a little familiar with places in the city. Or you can just ask the driver if he's going to such and such a place. To go to Envigado take the Sabaneta bus and get off a block after you see the large Exito sign on the wall and walk 1 block east to the park/downtown. To get to Laureles walk down the hill to Avenida Las Vegas and catch the Circular Sur bus on the opposite side of the street - I forget if it's 302 or 303 - one goes clockwise and the other clockwise on the almost identical route. To go to PriceSmart you take the same bus and get off when it passes Avenida 70. You'll see a brightly painted wooden fence with construction behind it. At that point you're one block from PriceSmart. My usual rule of thumb is take a taxi the first time i go someplace and then keep my eyes open for the address and what's around it. In time I figure out what buses go there. Often i'm going alone. When there's 2 or more people it often is more economical to just take a taxi. I hope this helps.
