Last night I went to bed at 10:45, had difficulty getting to
sleep, got up numerous times during the night, finally waking/getting up at
6am, but still feeling pretty good.
Yesterday I got an email from LAC that Salem (Liliana) had sent me a message. We traded several emails via regular email
and she wanted to know why I contacted her if I have a novia (well, she
contacted me first and I thought we were friends and she just wanted to
talk). Still she says she wants to get
to know me better. After a few more
emails I told her I would let her know if it doesn’t work out with my current
girlfriend.
A hummingbird just came in my window and checked out my
flowering plant but left after about 10 seconds. Still they are neat to see!
I took a Circular Sur 302 bus and the metro and was at
Teresa’s brother’s bar 10 minutes early and she was already there helping blow
up balloons. I helped her for a few
minutes then we walked a ways and stopped where she had a couple bunuelos and
juice and I had an iced tea. We caught a
bus and were at the Oviedo
theater 20 minutes before game time. (The
open area on the floor below was packed with people sitting in chairs to watch
the game for free.) There was a line at
the box office and lots of people milling about. All the special seats were gone and we got
general seating in the 3rd row by the wall. The tickets only cost 5mil each and were
pretty fancy looking. 15 minutes before
game time I went out and got in line for popcorn and soda. After paying for it I was sent to the next
line but as I was approaching the front a lady told me I was in the wrong line
(purchase line not the pickup line). I
finally got my popcorn and soda and was back in my seat just as the game was
about to begin. It was real exciting
seeing all the fans cheering on Colombia. I don’t recall ever being in a situation
where you knew everyone present was supporting one and only one team. Colombia beat The Ivory Coast 2-1
and I’m sure Teresa enjoyed it completely.
When we came out it was obvious that at least one other screen was
showing the game.
We window shopped a little at Oviedo and I gave my opinion of which high
heels I liked for her in several stores.
I went into the country & western store and Teresa found a hat she
liked better than the cheap one I bought for her in Guatape for 10mil. I bought it for her for 30mil.
We took a bus back to Envigado and stopped at a restaurant
for lunch. I had the Bandeja Special
with mango juice and she had beef but she complained it was tough. No kidding!
We stopped at another location and had some ice cream – her treat. We walked a ways back near the Envigado Exito
to her brother’s bar and watched the first half of the match between Greece and
Japan. I just checked and it ended 0-0. We walked to the metro station and she left
to catch her bus and I took the metro back to Aguacatala and the bus from there
to Viva.
T-shirt of the day: Your town sucks. (Really, these are
actual t-shirts I see here.)
