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.
