I woke up to a very cool morning, in fact my cellphone
predicted a high of only 74 degrees for today.
Unbelievable!
My brother emailed me that Medellin
I finished my last English muffin this morning.
I left the apt at 10:30, took the metro to Parque Berrio and
walked over to El Labaratorio outside
the Museo de Antioquia. I tried an
expresso that I didn’t enjoy at all so I ordered a latte. I talked for a while with a couple of German
girls who had just arrived and were shocked by the cold weather. I told them that today is very atypical –
probably would end up being the coldest day of the year. I think they are going to Guatape tomorrow.
Jim and Joan arrived about 30 minutes after I arrived. Again we had a little rain so we haven’t been
very lucky weather wise with our trips to the museum. Joan bought a Botero print with a cylindrical
mailing tube for about 20mil.
The rain finally stopped and we walked down Carabobo where
Jim took video of the gold colored statue guy who will dance if you put coins
in his box.
The weather starting clearing and warming up a little so we
took a taxi back to their hotel so Joan could use the pool. Jim and I walked to Envios Market where I picked up my first copy of Reader’s Digest
(February) and another 1099R.
We walked a block down to El Graspo de Uva where we had a salad and pizza. We talked to the owner and Jim showed him a
copy of Pizza Today magazine and he
skimmed through it from cover to cover.
We said goodbye and I quickly caught a bus back to
Envigado. There was no line inside Exito so I picked
up a pint of vanilla ice cream for Teresa to eat with one of the pastry rolls
she brought back from San Andres.
Outside I ran into Laura on her way to see 50 Shades of Gray with her girlfriend. (She asked me if I put money into her account
– I said no – so she assumed this was payment for work she did last December.)
I watched a couple more episodes of The Walking Dead while Teresa went to visit her mom.
T-shirt of the day: Irish ish.
