Last night I went to bed at 10pm, heard some rain overnight, finally waking/getting up at 6:30.

I placed a hold on Lee Child’s Past Tense (Jack Reacher #23). It looks like I’m going to have to do the same for the next few books also.

I left the apt at 8:45 and walked to the mall. I withdrew 2,000,000 pesos from a Davivienda ATM and got a mix of bills.

I had a latte in Urbania for a couple hours. Upstairs I paid our Claro cellphone bills then bought a few things in Exito before returning to the apt by taxi in a light drizzle. (There wasn’t the usual long line of taxis and there may have been a protest or accident because my driver took the back streets.)

After lunch Teresa is going to meet with Esmeralda in El Hueco to purchase more craft supplies. I also learned Laura wants Teresa to buy custom jewelry here for Laura to sell in Boston. I asked when she will be seeing Laura again and learned Laura still wants to visit Chicago but she’ll be staying in a hotel.

I left at 2:30 and had a latte on the Otra Parte patio. The price went up from 7mil to 7,700 but it’s still a lot less than others who charge closer to 10,000 or 11,000 pesos. I left at 4pm and picked up a couple things in Ara on my way back to the apt.

Not sure if I mentioned Kelly was in the hospital with complications due to her diabetes. Well, she’s out now but sustained some damage to her heart and kidneys.

At 6:30 more rain started and soon it turned in to a downpour.

I finished reading Lee Child’s short story, The Hero, on my Kindle. It wasn’t what I thought it would be but it was still interesting and informative.

It was still raining lightly when I went to bed at 10pm.
