I slept pretty well despite getting up 4-5 times during the night.

We finally woke/got up at 7:45.

After a quick breakfast of cereal I thought we were going to leave right away for Mayorista but we didn’t get out until about 10am.  I had turned on the TV about 9:30 and we caught the early part of a rebroadcast of the wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.  Lots of precedents set there: she’s American, divorced and part African American.

The Colombian Peso closed for the week at 2,922 to the US Dollar.  It’s nice to see the peso get above 2900 again.

With Laura’s help we picked up about 500,000 pesos worth of groceries and took a private car back to the apt.  The driver was very talkative and I learned that he worked for something like 17 years in England and some time in Massachusetss but doesn’t speak English.  Hmmm, maybe it was New England and not England.

Teresa made spaghetti ala Juanita and I made garlic bread.  Delicious!

Laura left about 4pm for Santafe mall.

About 4:30 our doorbell rang; Teresa looked outside and it was Andres from San Andres.  She asked me to just ignore it.

At 5:30 it started raining and it didn’t stop.

T-shirt of the day: Breaking up is not the end.  It’s the beginning.
