Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.
I had a breakfast of croissant with scrambled eggs and a
latte in Los Porteños then moved to Otra Parte. The library patio
wasn’t open (later Teresa told me that’s where the yoga class was) so I moved
to the Otra Parte café where I had a latte while completing another hour
of chess tactics. (Their coffee isn’t very good, not sure if it’s their brand
of coffee, their machine or their barrister.) Teresa came out by 10am but
wasn’t interested in coffee after I gave her my opinion of it. She left right
away to make lunch and I left about 11am.
It was around noon when Teresa received a call then notified
me there was a package at the porteria for me. I went down and retrieved my new
book The Amateur’s Mind: Turning Chess Misconceptions into Chess Mastery
that arrived 3 days early.
I was going to order Modern Chess Openings, 16th
edition but found the 15th edition as a pdf which I downloaded.
I ordered Simon Williams’ The Killer Dutch Rebooted
from Amazon for $38.66 (free with my gift card) estimated to arrive here on
Friday, December 1st.
Teresa showed me this Greek restaurant she found with her
cellphone and wanted to try:
We left the apt at 3pm and took a Didi to the new Pricesmart
in Poblado.
While Teresa went for some vegetables, I made a trip to the restroom. Here’s your Colombian quiz. What’s unusual about this photo?
Answer below.
We checked out their non-food area and found some
interesting things like suitcase combos and those mattresses that unroll to
full size when you open the package. The main things I got for myself was a
backup Canadian maple syrup and a medium-sized bottle of ketchup. The main
thing we missed is there was no turkey breast, only full-sized turkeys and
hams.
We checked out and the total came to 985,683 pesos ($242).
We were on the moving sidewalk with our grocery cart when one
of my shoelaces got stuck at the end. I couldn’t back up to remove it until I let
go of the railing that kept moving me forward.
We had about a 15-minute wait for a taxi to return us to our
apt.
A downpour started at 5:30 but stopped just before I went to
bed.
One of my blog readers asked if my half-sister sells her
paintings. Yes, just google CJ Conner Art Studio to see more.
The problem with the toilet photo is in Colombia public
places not only do you often find toilet seats missing but you almost never see
a toilet seat cover.
