Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 4am, finally waking/getting up at 6am.
I see my pensions have been deposited into my USAA account. 😊
Teresa asked me to meet her in Mayorca at noon so we can
have lunch together after her gym class.
I left the apt at 8am for Smartfit. It was busier
than usual but I completed my workout without difficulty. I added 5# to the
Butterfly machine. (I did see Michael come in and head upstairs.)
I had a latte in Ganso y Castor for about 90 minutes.
Teresa called to inform me she was still in the apt because they changed
classes or instructors on her so she’s not going to Mayorca, but MT wants us to
take her out for lunch in a Torre Medica restaurant on Calle 7. The only place
I can think of is Boulevard Café and it isn’t anything special. (Maybe
she likes their soup?) Then we’ll go to Santafe mall where I’ll have coffee
while the ladies shop.
I watched an interesting video about life as a first class
passenger an the Titanic.
I found this list of Latin American countries and their
minimum wages:
I often see the same woman walking her two dogs off leash.
Today she continued walking through the park but the medium sized dog got
distracted down the side street. When he turned around, he didn’t see his owner.
You could see him get anxious because he couldn’t see her. He finally came up
to the main part of the park and saw her at the other end and hightailed it for
her. I left at 10:15 and returned to the apt.
We left at 11:30 and had the Didi pick up MT then take us
all to Clinica Medellin on Calle 7. As we entered Boulevard Café the
ladies were ahead of me and I paused for a second to look at the pastries. In
that time an old man in a white lab coat (doctor?) and another woman passed me.
I passed them and grabbed a tray and got behind Teresa. The guy in the lab coat
said to me in English, “The line starts behind me” to which I replied, “I’m
with them”. We all had their menu of the day for a total of 96mil ($23) and
took a table and finished our meals. Outside we quickly caught a taxi to take
us to Santafe mall but for some reason instead of taking the back streets he
crossed Ave Poblado then had to take a cloverleaf to get to the other side.
While the ladies were shopping I took a table in Valentina’s
where I had a latte and a crookie (croissant cookie). ONEIPAMETATO1453 resigned
our game in 23 moves increasing my rating to 1572. They returned about 2:30 and
they had lattes and shared a slice of yogurt cake. The total check came to
about 75mil with tip.
We left at 4pm and quickly caught a taxi outside. Our driver
was very aggressive and despite heavy traffic we dropped off MT and were back
in our apt by 4:40.
On Netflix, I finished watching Attack on Pearl Harbor
then I watched Girl of the Hour.
Since we got DirecTV fixed, now every night Teresa watches a
show called Yo Me Llamo. I don’t understand any of the Spanish songs or singers
they impersonate but the other day someone did Frank Sinatra and tonight
someone did Dean Martin. 😊
