Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once around 3am, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

Jack, my buddy from college sent me this photo of us, circa 1972 when he was in the army (and I wasn’t, he he).

Oops, didn't come through. Why was it saved as a .pdf file instead of a .jpg?

I left the apt at 8:30 and first stopped in Smartfit so Teresa could talk to them on my cellphone about their classes today. I continued on to Olivenza where Glenn with Bianca soon arrived. I asked about his health situation and he said he’s waiting for test results from his cardiologist then he’s going to use the gastroenterologist that he recommended. I told him about my experience getting the apostille for my residency visa as he’ll be going through the same process soon. He told me about his experience with Amazon Prime Video and other streaming services (Peacock) that he'll join for a month to watch the movies he wants then cancel it. I left at 10:45 and walked back to the apt.

I see Amazon Prime Video has a 30-day free trial. 😊 I was going to watch The Pacific was one of the series I was going to watch on Amazon Prime but I see it’s on Netflix.

We left the apt at 1:30 and took a Didi to Rocoto, the Peruvian restaurant in the Provenza neighborhood of Poblado.

Teresa ordered their Salmon Malibu

and I their St. Louis ribs

I translated for Teresa my comment about the ribs, “In my gringo opinion, it’s a shame these delicious ribs were ruined by putting this hot spice (curry?) on them. I guess it’s a Peruvian taste”. I ate 3 of them and got the other two to go.

For dessert we shared these spring rolls with cappuccinos (they couldn’t make lattes).

The total check came to 213,383 ($50) including tip.

At 3:45 we left and returned to the apt by Didi.

As soon as we returned I rinsed the curry from the ribs, put a little BBQ sauce on them and put them in the fridge.

I watched a few episodes of The Pacific (8.3) on Netflix.

For supper I put the ribs in the microwave to heat them up and ate them with a little more BBQ sauce.

I put the NFL championship games on DAZN on my laptop in the background while watching TV and later reading my Kindle.

A couple of my lesions are back. ☹
