Friday, April 18, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 9:30, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

I suggested we have breakfast back at Café Canelo but Teresa wanted to eat breakfast in the hotel because we already paid for it.

After our usual simple breakfast, she shared with me that there’s another restroom in the basement. I went down and checked it out and she’s right, one small room with a urinal and another with a toilet. And it has a toilet seat!

I retrieved my computer and moved to the shady area with the tables closer to the main pool. Teresa soon joined me and started work on a new bracelet.

I played some games of rapid (10 minute) chess.

My phone has been quiet all week but this afternoon I received a couple phone calls from Isable Aspen of Botswana, 😊 needless to say I didn’t answer.

At 1:15 I got the battery low warning on my laptop, only 30 minutes left, time to recharge the battery. I returned the laptop to our room and plugged it in. I returned to the pool area with my Kindle and read a few crime stories.

Lunch was goulash with rice.



Teresa almost always selects the second choice which is some type of fish. There’s been a little repetition but we’ve both been happy with the food.

This is a short video I took of the neighborhood.



We took showers then had supper in the dining room.

Supper was pork with a nice sauce, similar to what we’ve had before.

There’s a chess book I found on ThriftBooks.com,  Horowitz’s How to Win in the Chess Openings. One of the first chess books I had as a kid. For memories sake, twice I tried to buy it but there’s something about my payment details it doesn’t like.



We were both tired so we went to bed early, 9pm.
