Last night I went to bed at 9:30, got up once at 5am, finally waking/getting up at 7am.
I was watching the FIDE Chess World Cup on my laptop live on Chess TV when
I scrolled down and found a list of upcoming broadcasts/shows for the weekend.
I see Anna Cramling is going to be on tomorrow from noon to 2pm. I also noticed
this IRL
I guess I could see this if I had the Twitch app? Or if I
entered the IRL into google?
I googled Twitch and it said, “Twitch
is a video streaming
service and platform that allows users to stream and watch live
video content, mainly related to gaming, Esports, and other lifestyle topics.”
I went to the Play Store to download it and only saw “OPEN”,
not “DOWNLOAD” then I noticed the app was already there; I downloaded it on
June 16th.
I found an interesting game in the Women’s World Cup for the
opening I play as White and I managed to figure out how to copy it to my
ChessBase16 database.
We left the apt at 10:45 and took a Didi to El Tesoro. We
went directly into MNG (aka Mango) where I purchased a blue linen blazer
(#42), off white linen pants (#36) and a white collarless, sleeveless t-shirt (L)
for…drum roll please…1,529,745 pesos ($387). From the prices of $350 and $375 I
saw for linen blazers on the internet I knew this wasn’t going to be an
inexpensive purchase.
In Valentina’s we each had a latte and shared a
delicious chicken sandwich for 71,674 pesos ($18). That also included a bowl of
beet soup that Teresa ordered that reminded me a little of Russian borscht.
In Bosi I bought a pair of blue hard sole moccasins
that pretty much match the blazer for 399,900 pesos ($101).
Teresa did some more shopping for dresses and almost bought
one until I said, “for 600,000 pesos ($150) the dress should be something we
really love, without having to think about it”.
Back in Valentina’s we each had a latte and shared a
slice of pound cake for 33,215 ($8).
After about our 28th move Troyclough texted me,
“this is a draw”, but I replied, “I kind of doubt that”.
I saw that the Chicago Bears beat the Tennessee Titans
23-17. Justin Fields was perfect in his limited time with 3-3 passing, 129 yards
and 2 touchdowns.
Teresa checked out a couple more stores with no luck and we
quickly caught a taxi back to the apt. On the way we passed a building under
construction and Teresa informed me (via our driver) it was going to be the new
Pricesmart. I quickly checked a building nearby and we were on Calle 15B
Sur. It looks like it is going to create real traffic jams if they don’t put in
a traffic light or a bridge or something to alleviate the traffic.
Teresa suggested we have supper in Mu tonight. We
left the apt at 7:15 and took a Didi to the restaurant. The ribs were great as
usual and the fries…I think they’re the best in Medellin. The bill came to 130,350
pesos ($33). Why is it more expensive than when we have it delivered for 111,000?
Here I had a coke and Teresa had a beer and we added a 10% tip. The ribs
themselves are only 98mil which means we pay 13mil to have them delivered. I
used InDrive after offering 12mil to return us to our apt.
