Saturday, November 9, 2024

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, finally waking getting up at 6:15.

My cedula expired today. I wonder if that’s going to affect my ability to purchase things. In a pinch I guess I could use my passport.

Teresa’s meeting her mother this morning to help her with some banking so I suggested we meet in IKEA for lunch.

It was only 66 degrees at 9am when I left in pants to meet Marcos at Peccato at 9:15. He put in bids for several apartments around 900 million but they were all rejected. He’s now done looking to buy an apartment as he says prices here have gotten insane.

He left at 10am and I paid 14mil for our lattes and walked to the mall where I had a latte in Urbania waiting for Teresa to call.

A couple sat at a table next to me and fed frozen yogurt to their dog, a Bernese Mountain Dog.



A few minutes later another couple came by with their little dog and the Bernese seemed to be scared of it. I only started recording after it had back away.



Teresa called at 11:45 and asked me to meet het and her mother in the Ikea restaurant. I paid for my latte, made a quick trip to the restroom then found them waiting for me in Ikea. Today it wasn’t freezing like before so I didn’t need the jacket I had brought.  They had their salmon and I got the meatballs again with mashed potatoes and gravy. Instead of peas I tried to substitute their mixed vegetable but was refused. I tried their lingonberries this time and they were okay. We all shared a bottle of water and the total came to 122,400 pesos ($28) which isn’t too bad for three meals in Medellin.

I bought a bottle of my skin cream in Linea Estetica and it must have been on sale because it was only 81,000 pesos where last time I think it was 105,000 pesos. I purposely paid for it with my debit card and didn’t have any problem with my expired cedula.

Not being in a hurry, we stopped for lattes in Juan Valdez. They left to go to El Tesoro and I returned to the apt by taxi.

I completed more chess puzzles in my book and watched the news the rest of the evening.

Teresa returned at 6:30 and I reminded her tomorrow I’m having breakfast with Glenn and my game starts at 1pm.

It rained all evening and was still raining when I went to bed at 10pm.
