Last night I took a Zopiclona and an allergy pill, went to bed at 10:30pm and fell asleep quickly. I made a trip to the bathroom once during the night, again at 5:30, finally awakened by my alarm at 7am.
I took a Didi at 8:30 to J & J’s AirBnB in Poblado. We walked 6 blocks to Hija Mia Nomada. Teresa joined us a few minutes later. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and they agreed the food, service and presentation is good. The total check for the four of us was 178,750 pesos ($43).
We walked 5 blocks from there to the Poblado Metro station. At the Acevedo station we transferred to the Metro Cable cars. At Parque Arvi, after a trip to the restroom, we had coffee in their relatively new café. Then in the arts & crafts area Jeannie & Jacob had their first obleas.
About 1:30 there was a light drizzle so we took a Metro Cable
car back to Poblado. (Teresa stayed on the metro to Envigado to visit her mom.)
We took a taxi to their apt where they freshened up a bit. We took a Didi to the Pergamino Café in Provenza and were lucky to get the last table. Long lines at the order/cashier station. I had their peanut butter and fruit on toast:
This was one of our neighbors, a 5-month-old Australian Shepherd.
Jeannie informed me that fanny packs like mine are all the
rage now in the US although most people wear them over the shoulder. She said
they are now so popular they are hard to find so I told her we should buy all of
them in Totto and she can sell them in the States.
At one point street performers stopped by and did their
break dancing, flips, etc.
Jeannie was in line for more coffee but didn’t miss one young
man on our sidewalk who was obviously double jointed in his arms & shoulders.
Then he did something I’ve never seen before and really freaked us out. Facing
us, another young man behind him held his head and he proceeded to turn around
so his rear was facing us at the same time. Yikes!
We walked around the Provenza area and Jeannie found the
AirBnB she stayed in when she was here with JoAnn 3 years ago. We checked out a
number of restaraunts in the area and finally stopped for drinks at a Peruvian
restaurant named Rocoto. We had drinks and eventually asked the waitress
if we could have dinner there later. She replied that usually you need a
reservation but if there was a table available we could have it. After a number
of drinks and some time passed we asked if we could just keep the table in the
corner that we were at. She agreed and I called Teresa and she arrived just
after 7pm.
Teresa had their Salmon Panca and I had Lomo Saltodo.
Delicious!
We left at 9pm in a Didi, dropped J & J off at their
AirB&B and continued on to our apt. We immediately got ready for bed.
