Last night I went to bed at 11:30, fell asleep quickly and
didn’t wake up until 6:30 getting up at 7:30.
We had several discussions about what Laura could have in
her carryon to take on the plane.
Teresa had an old plate full of (mostly) American coins so I
separated them all for Laura to take with her.
It’s about $5-$6 in change.
Laura left while I was taking a nap. Teresa told me she’s going to the bank for
some reason. I’m just hanging around the
apartment just in case she needs my help with something.
Background: A few days ago when we were taking things out of
the storage unit one of the things I found was the old hummingbird feeder from
the finca. Yesterday I mixed a cup of
water with some sugar and put it up above the balcony.
I was sitting on the couch watching a movie on Direct TV
when I noticed a shadow of a bird on the birdfeeder. I slowly got up and looked around the corner.
Instead of the hummingbird I expected it looked more like a small woodpecker. It was holding onto the base with its feet like
a squirrel and spent about 5 minutes drinking the sugar water. It was there long enough for me to point it
out to Teresa, then either it had its fill or got scared and flew away.
Teresa asked me when I’m going to make cookies again. I understand she is looking forward to peanut butter cookies but I told her I’m going to make more oatmeal
cookies first because I have so many walnuts left.
I found a suitcase lock that I must have bought 5 years ago when
I was living in Laureles and it was brand new still in its original package.
Laura finally came back at 7:30 with MT. At 8pm we walked up to La Buena Mesa to the Chiclayo
We all sat on a metal bench outside and it appeared we would
be sat next. A waitress came out and gave
us each a menu. She returned after a few
minutes with a complimentary glass of what seemed like grape juice with apple
slices inside – kind of like a sangria although she said there was no
alcohol. A few minutes later she
returned and took our orders.
About 10 minutes later we were seated and there was maybe a
20-30 minute wait for our food. My food,
Lomo Saltado, was delicious with beef, onions, tomatoes, and white rice with French
fries on the side. Only a couple pieces
of beef were a little on the chewy side.
As we were finishing Wilson
I asked if anyone wanted to order dessert and Laura ordered
something for us to share. It turned out
to be a slice of dense chocolate cake that I had no interest in but it came
with some kind of peppermint ice cream and I had a bite of that.
I picked up the check which I’m sure Wilson
I took my usual pills, read some from my Nook
book and went to bed at 11:30.
Joke of the day
Three men
had a very late night out drinking scotch whiskey.
They left in
the early morning hours and went home separately.
They met for
lunch next day, and compared notes about who was drunker the night before.
The first
guy claimed that he was the drunkest, saying, “I drove straight home, walked
into the house, and as soon as I got through the door I blew chunks.”
To which the
second guy replied, “You think that was drunk?
I got in my car, drove out of the parking lot, and wrapped my car around
the first tree I saw. I don’t even have
insurance.”
And the
third proclaimed, “I was by far the most drunk.
I got home, got in a big fight with my wife, knocked a candle over and burned
the whole house down!”
They all looked
at each other for a moment.
Then the
first guy said, “Guys, I don’t think you understand. Chunks is my dog.”
