Last night we went to bed at 11pm as usual.  I fell asleep quickly and got up at 4am for my typical trip to the bathroom.  I woke/got up at 7am and was surprised to find Teresa in another bedroom.  I asked if I was snoring and she replied no but at 2am she heard a couple drunk girls outside the building fighting.

About 9:30 I walked down to the mall where I had a café con leche and did some reading.  After, I stopped in Exito where I picked up a few things that Teresa requested.

Coming out of Exito I noticed a couple people training dogs, one of which looked like a husky.  They would walk around and then stop and as soon as the dog sat down they would give it a treat.

Teresa left at 1:45 with Esmeralda for a special 4-hour mass at the University of Medellin.  The priest is supposed to be an American.  I still declined.  Teresa took 3 cookies with her, one for Esmeralda, one for her son Alejandro and one for Teresa.  We have 2 left – time to make more cookies.

I forgot to mention yesterday while I was waiting outside the theater I observed a young girl reading a bible.  It’s interesting how Colombians can recite prayers over and over again but they don’t read the bible.  I never see anyone in church with a bible.  (Of course, if they did have one it would probably be too dark for them to read it. Lol.)

I refilled the bird feeder with more sugar water and 5 minutes later I a hummingbird arrived.  Unfortunately, when I snuck a look it flew away.

When Teresa returned at 8pm she brought me a hamburger.

Laura texted me on and off throughout the day.  With Sara they took Olivia to the pool for swim class, they went to a bank to open an account, then they went to the supermarket.  In the evening she met another au pair named Mariana (from Mexico) and they had pizza.  From the menu she sent me I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Greek owned.  Then they went to a sports bar where they had dessert.  Laura said she couldn’t order a drink because she forgot to bring her passport with her.  She asked me how to say “quiero llevarme el postre” in English and I said “Can I get this to go”?

Joke of the day

A man walks into a bar with an ostrich and a cat and sits at the bar. The bartender walks over to them and says, "What can I get for you?"

The man says "I'll have a beer", the ostrich says, "I'll have a beer", and the cat says, "I'll have half a beer and I'm not buying." So the bartender says, "OK, that will be $3.87."

The man reaches into his pocket and brings out the exact change and pays him. About an hour later the bartender goes back over to them and says, "What'll you guys have?"

The man says, "I'll have a beer", the ostrich says, "I'll have a beer", and the cat says "I'll have half a beer and I'm not buying." The bartender gets them their beer and says "That'll be $3.87."

The man reaches into his pocket and brings out the exact change and pays him. A couple of days later they come back into the bar and the bartender walks over and asks "What do you guys want today?"

The man says, "I'll have a scotch", the ostrich says, "I'll have a bourbon", and the cat says, "I'll have half a beer and I'm not buying." So the bartender says "OK, that will be $7.53." The man reaches into his pocket and brings out the exact change and pays him.

The bartender's curiosity got the best of him and he asks, "Why is it that every time I tell you the amount you owe you always have the exact change in you pocket?"

The man said, "I found a bottle with a genie in it and she granted me 3 wishes. My first wish was that I always have the exact change in my pocket for anything I buy."

The bartender says, "That's a great wish...better than asking for a million dollars. A million dollars will run out but that never will. What were your other 2 wishes?"

The man says, "That's where I screwed up. I asked for a chick with long legs and a tight pussy."
