Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 2am, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

I left the apt at 8:30 and listened to Margaritaville 4 times on my iPod on the way to Sao Paulo Plaza. Glenn soon arrived with Bianca and I asked him for a health update.

He had his eyeglass prescription changed but the optician only changed one lens and he had to return to have the other changed. He had 2 skin biopsies taken, one on his shoulder and the other on his face so now he’s waiting on the results. He still hasn’t made an appointment with a gastroenterologist, first he has to save up the cash to pay for it.

I listened to Margaritaville again on the way back to the apt, stopping off at a corner grocery store to buy a bag of milk.

We left the apt at 2pm and took a Didi to El Correo in Provenza. Teresa had their chicken and a baked potato as a side and I their ribs with a baked potato. I told her that in the States we have baked potatoes with tougher skins that don’t fall apart when you crack them open. She said her chicken was delicious so I guess we can return. I ate most of the ribs but got the last three to go. The check came to 184,976 pesos ($45).

We walked down to the end of the block, turned north on Carrera 33, two blocks to Calle 10, turned left and walked down to Carrera 37 and went south a block to Pergamino. Besides their patio they have tables in the closed off street and we got the only one available in the street. As soon as I sat down Teresa pointed to one that had just come available on the patio. I had stay until I had saved it for us. I went inside and ordered two hot (I remember when you didn’t have to say that) lattes and a macadamia cookie. It took about 15 minutes for our order to arrive but we were in no hurry.

We left at 4:30 and met Esgar (not a typo) in his Didi at the corner of Calle 10 and Carrera 37 to take us back to our apt.

I watched a couple more episodes of The Night Agent on Netflix.

We had some rain in the evening and it was still raining when I went to bed at 10pm.
