Last night I mentioned I got an email from Teresa and a
letter from Rubi.
The email from Teresa said that she liked my letter very
much and would like to meet me. I told
her I would like to meet her also and suggested next Wednesday at 1 or 1:15 at
the Exito food court near the Envigado metro station. (I believe that’s the same place I met Eddie
last year for breakfast at McDonald’s.)
In Rubi’s letter she apologized for taking so long to answer
my letter but she can’t email me from work as there is no computer
available. She shared with me a little
more about the foods she likes – including Bandeja Paisa. I’m afraid it’s going to be a slow process
with this lady – at least until we meet.
I again asked her to call the AFA office so she can accept my profile
and we don’t have to go through AFA’s email system. I also brought up the subject of meeting for
lunch.
BTW, my eye doctor’s appointment cost 150mil and I only had
100 with me so I’ll be going back next week to pay off the balance.
I went to bed at 10:30, got up once during the night, woke
up at 5:30 and got up at 6am.
2 weeks ago I asked that 27 year old girl from LAC what year
she is in at the university (ITM) and I was surprised that this morning she sent
me an answer – 2nd year. I
asked her what she is studying. To be
continued. Soon I’ll ask her point blank
what her intentions are with a 68 year old man.
Probably just curiosity – I am a gringo after all.
I also had an email from Luz. She lives downtown near Parque Berrio but she
warned me the area isn’t safe. Later I
confirmed my understanding of the next sentence of her email with Jhon. She wants to meet me at the Exito Laureles,
take me downtown for lunch and then show me her apartment. Sounds good to me! I told her fine, but I’m buying!
I sent Dario a text message inviting him to my apartment at
2pm today to play chess.
I had my usual breakfast at Los Mejores. No orange juice stand setup again today. I bought 2 different eye drops with the “prescription”
that Catalina gave me. I believe the
first container are anti inflammatory drops and are to be taken twice a day for
only 15 days and the second container are eye drops that I can use contiously
every 2 hours. Together they cost me
about 50mil.
Jhon asked me to print out all of the regular verbs with
their definitions, fold each of them and put them in a “hat”. Take one out and if you see the English side
then you have to identify the Spanish verb.
If you see the Spanish side then you have to provide the English
definition. Each one you get wrong goes
back into the “hat”. He also told me
that next week, holy week, there will be no Spanish lessons. He said it is a vacation week for most
Colombians and he will be visiting a girlfriend in Bogota.
That might make it easier for me to meet with Luz and Teresa.
Lunch was a hotdog, chips, and large Pepsi at Dogger’s.
I stopped at Exito and bought a replacement bottle of floor
cleaner and regular soap for washing my white underwear.
At 1:30 I texted Dario giving him my apartment number. He called me just before 2pm and confirmed
that I wanted to meet in my apartment.
He showed up by 2:15 and we played 2 games – each with different
colors. I won both games, extending my
streak against him to 7 games. He told
me he isn’t playing badly, I’m just playing better. He left at 4:45.
I received an email from Dr. Montoya; she gave me the name
and address of a Urologist that should also be an English speaking doctor. His name is Dr. Juan Fernando Uribe Arcila.
