Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 4:15, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.
This is what the metal plate in the sidewalk looks like from my bedroom window; you’ll have to zoom in a to see it.
I had a latte in Los Porteños for a couple hours.
Marcos is back and we made plans to meet for coffee tomorrow at 9am. I left at
11:30 and met Teresa outside Ara on her way to her nail appointment.
I left the apt at 12:55 and experienced a few raindrops as I
was crossing Calle 30. I took a seat at Asados Rogelio and Teresa joined me a
few minutes later. It was soon pouring but it only lasted 20 minutes. A few
minutes later is started up again. We had the usual Colombian lunch for 57,250
pesos.
She showed me her acrylic nails that cost her 45mil
and Laura said hers cost $55 in Boston.
Just after 2pm the rain let
up so we quickly returned to the apt.
We left the apt at 3:30 and took a Didi to Clinica Medellin
on calle 7 in Poblado. Teresa went in to check but as I expected we had to go
across the street to Cedimed to pick up her test results. Five minutes later we
cross the street again and caught a taxi. Teresa gets in and says, “Avenida
ochenta” and I said, “Belen” and she gave me a dirty look. I soon figured out
she wanted to go to the eps on calle 50 (and Avenida setenta) near the stadium
not the eps on Avenida ochenta in Belen.
We were in the taxi on calle 50 just blocks from eps when my
son texted me that Donald Trump, the 45th president of the US had
been convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up his
payments to porn star Stormy Daniels for their affair from becoming public
before the 2016 election. (He suspected, probably correctly, that if that had
come to light so soon after the Access Hollywood debacle, “you can grab them by
the pussy, they let you do it, he probably would have lost.
We arrived 20 minutes before her 5pm appointment. She checked
in at the first station then told me I could go across the street to the café for
coffee. I just arrived and hadn’t taken a seat when she called me and asked me
to come back. She was waiting in line at the second station where I had to pay
4,500 for her consultation. I returned to the café, took a seat and ordered a café
con leche and churro from a waitress with an electric tablet. After I finished
my little café con leche and churro (sugar donut) and waited a little longer I went
to the cashier, gave him my table number and paid 2,700 pesos (70 cents). I had
just sat down again when Teresa called me to meet outside the clinic. We walked
across the street and caught a taxi as a girl arrived at her destination and
got out. It was about 5:30 and in heavy traffic we returned to Envigado at 7pm
in a light rain.
Teresa was hungry so she suggested we get out at McDonald’s.
Fine with me. She then suggested
And I countered with Chiclayo but we ended up at Olivia’s
where she had salmon and I Fettuccine con albondigas and we shared a bottle of
water for 106,476 pesos ($28). The rain had finally stopped by the time we
walked back to the apt.
I see my pension deposits in my bank account. 😊
I started watching CNN about the trial result then switched
to MSNBC and didn’t get to bed until midnight.
