Last night I went to bed at 10pm and got up once at 4:30. Six and half hours is pretty good since it probably included some deep sleep. It took maybe an hour to fall back asleep and my alarm woke me at 7am.
I picked up a Gente newspaper in Exito yesterday and
there was a mention of the work being done in La Buena Mesa. Per my photo
translator app, “The total progress of the pedestrianization work in Calle La
Buena Mesa is 11% and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.”
I met Glenn at Hija Mia at 8:30. I told him I
finished season 5 of The Sopranos. He’s probably going to start watching
it again as he believes he missed a lot the first time.
He mentioned a restaurant often recommended on Facebook called
Gloria’s Waffles, only problem is it’s in Laureles. It looks like it’s a
block off of Avenida Nutibara not far from the main entrance of UPB. We’re
getting tired of the same breakfast restaurants over and over so we’ll probably
give it a try next Sunday.
While waiting for my ride I walked across the street and
took this photo of Philly Steaks’ new storefront:
I was back at the apt by 10am. Teresa informed me she’s
going to a special mass in La Ceja with her friend Patricia. She asked me to
check Didi and I couldn’t find a driver but with inDriver I found it would be 72mil
but Patricia thinks she can get a driver for less.
I guess I’m on my own for lunch today. Normally, I would go
out for a quick burger but not today, the last day of Burger Maester.
I left the apt at 1pm and took a Didi to Pizza Americana
in Envigado. (My first time at that location). The store was garage sized with
3 small bench-like tables and with the oven it felt a little stuffy and warm. I
ordered an individual pizza with smoked ham and tomatoes and I guess it
included the 500ml Pepsi because they only charged me 18mil ($5). The salesgirl
didn’t seem impressed when I told her their oven was built in the town I was
born in in the US. The pizza was smaller than I remember from 7 years ago but
then I usually gave away one of my 4 slices so this size was perfect for me. It
was delicious and I was back in my apt by 2:30.
A beautiful sunny day, I think we hit a high of about 86
degrees today; it’s been a long time coming.
Teresa returned at 8pm. She said it took an hour and 45
minutes to get there (La Ceja) and 3 hours to return, both ways by bus.
My chess rating is 1583, striking distance from my goal of
1600.
