I did my hour and 20 minutes at the health club. It seems there are more people there every
day.
I left the apt at 1pm and caught a bus after only waiting
for a minute. On the metro I saw a sign
in one of the stations for starting your own business with Amway.
I was 20 minutes early when I was a block away from Dario’s
store so I took the opportunity to go to the upper levels of the Aventura
mall. I saw that they have a 5-screen
movie theatre but all the movies are probably dubbed in Spanish.
At Dario’s store we played our 2 games. I had White in the first game and was
attacking his king relentlessly but couldn’t find the moves to put him away and
I eventually lost on time. In the 2nd
game with the Black pieces he attacked my king and I lost on time probably just
before he was going to checkmate me.
He informed me that he wouldn’t be available to play chess
next Wednesday at the store but he said he has a brother who lives in the El Dorado
Teresa and I walked down to her mother’s apartment where I
was supposed to help her understand how to work a blender who’s instructions
were in English. The light is so bad in
the apartment (one small overhead bulb) that it was difficult to read the
instruction manual. And there was no
light over the appliance itself. Talk
about challenging. I got it to work once
but when I went to show them how it worked it wouldn’t start again – supposedly
because the top wasn’t on correctly. I
did translate a couple buttons from English to Spanish for them.
While there, MT took my blood pressure with an automatic
device and it registered as 134 over 70.
Laura went to the embassy website using both her laptop and
her Samsung tablet and both gave her the same error as I’ve been getting.
On Direct TV I watched the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland
Indians 5-1. Now the games move on to
Chicago where the Indians will have to win at least one game to return to
Cleveland.
