Last night I went to bed at 9:45pm and quickly fell asleep but was awakened by Teresa’s snoring at 3:15. I made a trip to the bathroom, took an allergy pill, and returned to bed. Teresa soon started snoring again, not loud, but loud enough. I would change positions in bed and she would be silent for a minute then start up again. I repeated that several times then the last time just before I was going to move to the other bedroom, she was quiet long enough for me to fall back asleep, finally waking/getting up just before 7am.

I arrived at Parva with my laptop by 9am. I ensured each of the “hotels” I’ve chosen include free WiFi. I ordered a cruise brochure to be sent to my gmail account.

Marcos arrived by 9:30.

He leaves April 24^th and will return May 30^th. He said he will let me know about Hostal Inter Plaza Mayor in Madrid and if all is well I’ll book it right away. I asked him about how to convert from the Americas 110V to Europe’s 220V and he said all you just need a simple plug adaptor. He has 2 and will loan them to me when he returns.

I’m thinking I’ll reserve the least expensive cabin for the cruise and use the savings for shore excursions. I see I can get travel insurance for the cruise for about $7 per person.

Marcos suggested Teresa and I meet with him and his girlfriend for dinner Saturday night so I suggested the Peruvian restaurant Rocoto.

Teresa texted me and asked me to pick up a kilo of potatoes in Ara on my way back to the apt. I left about 11:30 and stopped in Ara. I know a kilo is 2.2 pounds but it took me a bit to figure out that one of the sides of the scale is in kilos and the other is in pounds and ounces.

Opening today in Cine Colombia are:

Blanco Fácil aka Easy White

El Tifón aka The Typhoon

Mañana Antes Despues aka Tomorrow Before After

Maravilloso Desastre aka Wonderful Disaster

Te Quiero Papá aka I Love You Dad

Una Familia Monstruosa aka A Monstrous Family

I’m going to have to check the original titles in Cine Colombia tomorrow.

Teresa had a massage from 5:15 to 6:15.

For supper Teresa wanted to go to Antica Pizza but I wanted her to be sure the restaurant was open. She found out Gloria wasn’t working tonight so we had it delivered. The check was 38,500 and I didn’t want to get rid of all my small bills so I gave him 50mil and told him to keep the change.

I never heard back from Marcos and Teresa seem indifferent when I suggested it to her so I don’t know if the Saturday night get-together is going to happen.
