Friday, February 15, 2019


I walked down to the corner of Calle 30 Sur and Avenida Las Vegas where I found a young lady selling newspapers.  I bought a Q’Hubo for Chuck.

We left the apt at 9am and took the metro bus to ayura station.  As the train arrived it was pretty full.  I noticed the next car wasn’t as busy so I got on there and Airin followed me.  I looked at the next car and I saw Joan standing outside and Jim clawing at the closed door trying to open it.  As the train left Jim told Joan to meet us at the next station.

At aguacatala station we got off and a couple minutes later the next train arrived, we saw Joan in her bright pink blouse and we got on the same car.  Apparently her car was nearly full and she had trouble getting on before the doors closed.  She had a bruise on her arm and her leg.  We took the train to terminal norte where we found Window 13 selling tickets to Santafe de Antioquia for 15mil.  Each bus leaves when it has filled.

I gave Joan an Excedrin for her aches & pains but she still wasn’t feeling well so we cancelled our trip (2nd time) to Santafe.

Since we hadn’t had breakfast I had a postre de pollo with a café con leche and the others had something to eat or drink.

Back at the apt we went to Eduardo Madrid bakery for coffee.

Jim then went on to Bartolos to explore by himself and the rest of us returned to the apt.

The ladies went swimming and I worked on my blog.

In the evening we walked up to La Buena Mesa to restaurant La Doctora where we had a delicious dinner.  Again, one of the best meals I’ve had in Medellin.  I had a limonada de coco, baby beef with a baked potato and butter and Teresa had fish with a glass of water.  The bill, including a generous tip, came to 60 mil ($20).

Joke of the day
A husband and wife who are avid golfers have been happily married for 30 years, and on the day of their 30th anniversary they enjoy a wonderful day together. They have a delicious breakfast in bed then proceed to one of their favorite golf courses. They play through to the 9th hole, both having an amazing game. The husband watches his beautiful wife tee off and feels a rush of emotion and guilt.
"Honey, I have to tell you something. At the very beginning of our marriage, I was with another woman. It only happened once and I've been faithful ever since. It was a mistake and I hope you can forgive me."
The wife looks fondly at him. "I forgive you. We've had a very happy life together. I love you."
The husband is so relieved, feeling light as a feather. They play a few more holes in bliss when suddenly the wife turns to her husband.
"Honey, I too have something to confess."
The husband smiles and says, "Anything dear - you were so gracious to me, and we can make it through anything."
"Before we met, I had an operation. I used to be a man."
The husband throws his club down and starts swearing and kicking up turf.
The wife is in shock. "But I forgave you for your secret!"
The husband, red faced, turns to her and says, "All these years! All these years you've been teeing off from the ladies tee, you cheater!!"
