Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up at 12:30, 4am, woke up when Teresa got up about 6 or 6:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:30.

At the gym I completed my exercises in an hour and 15 minutes.  

When I arrived back at the apt I checked the thermometer and it was only 72 degrees.

Teresa called me at noon and told me she’s with a friend at the café outside the San Marcos church.  We agreed to meet at Asados Rogelio at 1pm for lunch but she showed up at the apt at 12:15.

We rested for about 30 minutes then left the apt at 1pm.  We had lunch at Asados Rogelio then took a taxi to the Medellin City Hall in Alpujarra.  It was raining lightly as we got out of the taxi.  I had to wait outside while Teresa went in to pick up her passport but it only took 5 minutes.

We were back at the apt by 3pm.

At 3:45 we started getting a light rain.

I left the apt just after 5:30 and walked to Otra Parte where I found John waiting and I could see Chuck across the street.  We quickly caught a taxi to take us to 20Mission Cerveza.  With the heavy traffic we arrived after 6pm.

Jooks (Glenn) was there with Juan sitting at a 4-top and we invited them to join us at a larger table.  I suggested to Glenn (my brother’s idea) that we try the Dann Carlton Belfort next Sunday for breakfast.  I inquired to Juan about Spanish lessons for the month of December.  He said he could come to my apartment once a week for 2 hours for 50mil.  We said we would proceed with the details via Whatapp.  We met a couple from northern Oregon, Jon and Jess, who have been visiting here for the past 2-3 weeks.  I had a burger and Coke for 30mil.  We finally left about 8:45 and took a taxi back to Envigado.

I finished reading Robin Cook’s paperback The Year of the Intern.

Joke of the day

A beautiful Swedish blonde walks into a Vegas casino and goes straight to the roulette table. She smiles at the two dealers and bets $20,000 on one spin. 

"I hope you don't mind," she says in a dreamy voice, "but I feel much luckier naked..." and she peeled off all her clothes, staying completely naked.  "Come on baby, mommy needs a new set of clothes!"

The roulette wheel stops on 13. "I won I WON!!!" Shouts the blonde and jumps in the air in excitement 

She collects the winnings and her clothes, hugs the dealers and disappears.

The two dealers looked at each other in shock, until one of them pulls himself together and asks: "Did she bet on 13?"

"I don't know," said the other dealer. "I thought you were watching..."
