I got up once during the night, woke up at 6am and told
Teresa the time. Surprise, she got up to
go to the clinic for her blood draw and give a urine sample. I fell back asleep and woke/got up at 8am.
She returned while I was taking my shower.
I left the apt at 9:45 and quickly caught a bus to
Poblado. I got off and walked up to Clinica Medellin where I withdrew all
20s from their Servibanca ATM. I walked
the 3 blocks to Envios Market where I
picked up my April Chess Life
magazine, March Reader’s Digest and a
package in a plastic UPS bag. I paid the
3,600 peso tax and quickly caught an Envigado bus. I got off at Office Depot and walked across the street and up a block to Starbucks. I ordered a white mocca latte, extra hot, but
it never seems to be hot enough. I drank
it outside in the fresh air while finishing my March Reader’s Digest. I was there
about 45 minutes and then I walked across the street and up to Oviedo mall to their bus stop. Across the street I observed two young ladies
in short jean shorts, t-shirt, and indian headress handing out free bottles of
7-UP. My Sabaneta bus arrived in about
10 minutes. I got off at Calle 38Sur and
walked through the park to Copatra
where I paid the Une bill and the electric bill for the finca. I stopped at the copy center where I had 2
chess articles printed. In Exito I picked up a few things and had
to wait in line for about 15 minutes. I
was back at the apt by 12:30.
In the package were the two umbrellas I ordered from Shedrain and an iPad cover for Laura I
bought on eBay. I gave the umbrellas to
Teresa and Laura and hopefully now they will keep their hands off mine.
About 2:20 it rained hard but stopped after about 30
minutes.
I solved more chess puzzles on Chess Magnet School and was
promoted to the title of Defender.
From my April Reader’s
Digest, “I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of
childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.”
Bill Bryson, Neither Here Nor There.
The Colombian Peso closed for the week at 2,710 to the US
Dollar.
I finished reading the paperback On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett and downloaded James Patterson’s Along Came a Spider (Alex Cross series
#1).
