Last night I went to bed at 10pm, slept through the night, got up at 5am couldn’t fall back asleep, finally getting up at 6am. It obviously rained overnight as the streets are wet and it’s still dripping a little.
Today is another holiday, this time it’s Cartagena
Independence Day and the streets are deserted as people sleep in.
A reader caught my typo from the other day. The 1.9% I
published for the hotel is 19%. Mea culpa.
It’s a cold morning so I closed all the windows. That’s the
main way you control the temperature here, by opening and closing windows.
After breakfast while waiting my usual hour to digest my
breakfast and for it to warm up a bit outside I fell asleep on the recliner for
about 30-45 minutes.
I left the apt at 8:45 and completed my workout in Smartfit.
It was just slightly less crowded than usual.
I had a latte in Ganso y Castor for an hour before
returning to the apt.
Teresa wants to go out for lunch but when I ask her where,
it’s the usual, “where do you want to take me”? In the end we decided to take a
Didi to the Provenza area of Poblado and walk around a bit until we find a
restaurant. Soon I suggested La Matriarca where we have had dinner
before but never lunch.
Laura sent some photos of Teresa and I via Whatsapp but it
looks like we lost the original date the photo was taken so we might have to
send them via email attachments.
We left the apt at 1pm and took a Didi to the restaurant La
Matriarca in Poblado. Teresa chose a table in the “outside” area close to
the entrance.
In the past we’ve
always sat further inside.
Teresa had salmon and a beer and I had the solomito (steak)
of the house and a Coke.
For dessert we had lattes and shared a slice of cake with ice cream and red sauce.
With tip the total came to 225,402 pesos ($52). We returned
to the apt by Didi and our driver, Juan, spoke some English. Because he was
driving a Chevy I played the following video for him
and he thought it was great.
Troyclough resigned our game on the 31st move,
increasing my rating to 1615.
We watched another Netflix movie together, Dead Sea
(5.2) and even though it isn’t rated very highly Teresa liked it.
JUST FUNNY
