Last night I went to bed at 11pm, didn’t wake up
until 6am, and got up at 6:30. I think
those vitamins my doctor recommended for me are working.
I was at El
Comedor de Chava by 8:30 but the cook had yet to arrive. I waited until 9:15 and just as I was about to
leave she arrived so I was able to have my usual breakfast.
For the first time I was late (only by 2
minutes) for the start of my Spanish lesson.
Jhon had some good news for me – he wants to buy my refrigerator at my
200mil asking price.
After class I waited in line at BanColombia for
about 15 minutes to make my Medical Insurance payment.
Afterwards I used one of my new BK coupons and had a Steak XT burger
with fries and Pepsi for 15,500.
I talked to a lady at the Direct TV booth in
Viva mall and I understand they have packages named Bronze with 71 video
channels, Silver with 85 video channels, Gold with 110 video channels, and
Platinum with 147 video channels and I see different sports stations available
at each of the 1st 3 levels.
Now I have to find out what level package Teresa has. What I really need to find out is how to see
all the Chicago Bears games. I googled
Direct TV and found something called NFL Sunday Ticket but it implies that it
is only for games played on Sunday.
Besides it’s awfully expensive – like $54.99 a month for 6 months.
BTW, yesterday I asked Teresa where Laura gets
the movies on DVD that she shows on her TV and I understand that Teresa’s
mother sends them to her apartment in Envigado and then Laura picks them up
from there.
I’m hoping to get an HDMI cable to connect my
laptop to their TV and use my Netflix account for watching movies but that will
only work for everyone if I can get the Spanish subtitles to transfer from my
laptop to their TV.
I called Harry and we agreed to meet tomorrow at
4pm at his apartment only he wants me to call 30 minutes before. I hope I’m not wasting my time.
I bought a few things at Exito and back at my
apartment I took a 40 minute nap.
About 5pm I heard my doorbell ring; now there’s
a rare occurrence. It was the lady from
downstairs asking if I could show my apartment; of course I said yes. A couple of young girls took a quick walk
through my apartment; one spoke English which helped of course.
T-shirt of the day: Summer never e.n.d.s. (At least in Medellin it doesn’t ever end!)
