Last night I took my drops at 10:30 and we went to bed at
10:45. I think it took about an hour to
fall asleep. I woke up once at 4:45, and
woke/got up at 8am so it wasn’t a bad night.
I watched the first 90 minutes of the Today show.
I left the apt at 1:20 for the 2:05 showing of The Circle playing at Oviedo. When I got there I found it wasn’t playing
there any longer so their website was incorrect in still listing it. (It probably changed yesterday.) They didn’t have anything else playing that I
was interested in although I see Dunkirk,
Planet of the Apes and something
called Norman are all coming soon.
I took an elevator downstairs to Carulla to see if they had any lemons. They had a display with a line of
yellow/orangish things in front of a sign that said “limon de Tahiti”. Hmm, maybe they’re some kind of foreign
lemons? I moved the lemons away from the
sign and the lower half had a picture of green lemons so the signs weren’t in
line with the product. I did find a
small bottle of what might be lemon juice or might be lime juice but I took a
pass.
I stopped at their Citibank ATM and again I received all my
bills in 20s. Enough already!
I checked Cueva de
Quesos but they didn’t have any bagels today.
I walked across the street to Santafe mall but they didn’t
have anything good playing at their theater.
Downstairs I checked the Jumbo
store but they didn’t have lemons. I did
pick up a Heinz Picnic Pack with bottles of ketchup, mustard and sweet
relish. I also picked up a 600ml bottle
of Coke to have with my Fritos later.
I waited outside for 10-15 minutes for a Sabaneta bus that
was standing room only. Soon someone got
up right next to me and I got their seat.
Traffic was heavy going through the construction area of Envigado.
I was back at the apt by 3:15.
I watched an episode of
Mayday I hadn’t seen before and ate my bag of Fritos and drank the bottle
of Coke. Then I watched some of last
night’s ESPYS.
I spent 30 minutes on Chess Magnet School puzzles and was
promoted to Duke (#4/21).
I completed Unit 14 in Rosetta Stone.

Hi Terry,
ReplyDeleteIf you can bear another comment from me . . . .
I am thinking that Limón de Tahiti could be a Tahitian Lime, which is also known in english as the Persian Lime. That's the same one I mentioned in an earlier comment (Limón de Mesina) to your blog.
What I suspect may have happened to the ones you encountered is that the store, thinking that these were lemons, allowed these limes (limones = lemons in their mind) to ripen to yellow (not good, because ripening them makes limes turn bitter). There was a photo of green limes with them in the store that you mentioned.
BTW, Persian Limes are a seedless hybrid (not a species) of citrus.
OK — HTH
