Today is Memorial Day in the States. Here it’s a different holiday, Dia de la Ascensción (Ascension Day).
Last night I went to bed at 10:15, fell asleep quickly, got
up once at 1am (it was drizzling), fell back asleep quickly, got up again at
4am (still drizzling), took a little while to fall back asleep, finally
waking/getting up at 7am.
I had an hourlong nap after breakfast.
We left at 10:45 and took a Didi to Pricesmart. We
stocked up on everything (I got my Knott’s Berry Farm Strawberry Preserves)
on our list then had a leisurely lunch in their cafeteria. We picked up our
meat and got into one of their long lines to pay – 776,190 pesos or $199. We
had a 10-15-minute wait to return to the apt by taxi. There was almost no
traffic and we were back by 1:45.
We took a short nap then I left at 3pm for coffee. As
expected, Parva was closed for the holiday, but Los Porteños was
open. I had a couple small coffees and finished reading one of my chess books.
When the waiter brought the check for 13mil, I noticed there was no service
charge so I tipped him personally 2mil. I bought 2 bags of milk at the small
grocery on my way back to the apt.
I looked ahead online at the marquee for Cine Colombia for
Thursday and it has Jurassic World Dominion listed but IMDB has a US release
date of June 10th so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Teresa called Gloria and had 2 slices of pizza delivered in
45 minutes for 32mil ($8).
Tonight, there’s supposed to be a special meteor display, but I don’t know if that’s just for the northern hemisphere. At 9pm I went out on the balcony and the sky above us was completely overcast. Strangely, to the south, about where Sabaneta begins it looked completely clear. I looked again at 10pm and it was completely overcast and drizzling.
Not so fun, pix
