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

I recharged my shaver today. Hopefully it will work for a month so I won’t have to take the charger with me to Chicago.

I checked Google Flights and the flight I’ve been monitoring jumped up from $1231 to $2219. Yikes! Good thing I already bought our tickets.

At 7:30 I started the process of ordering a Didi and I still arrived at Unicentro a couple minutes before 8am. I went upstairs to the restaurant and the waiter brought me 2 obviously new menus. I mentioned that to the waiter then I said, “same food, higher prices” and he laughed. Jose soon joined me and he ordered the French toast and I 4 eggs scrambled with the (tiny) Italian sausage and a latte.

I learned he has Movistar fiber optic internet and is very happy with it. He couldn’t recall how much he pays but he did say it is less expensive than before. He said my only problem will be cancelling my other services and I have to continue to pay them until they do so as not to destroy Teresa’s credit rating.

We adjourned to the food court and I had the Black pieces in the first game and it was very close until his 43^rd move. I was threatening to capture a piece and he didn’t notice and made an innocuous pawn move then when he saw what he had done he immediately resigned.

It was 11:30 when we started the 2^nd game. I had the White pieces and got strong pressure against him but he ended up with an advantage in the endgame. But like I did a couple weeks ago on the 36^th move I got into the same position with my queen and knight where I threatened checkmate or he would lose his queen and he resigned. (It was nice to win both games against him as it doesn’t happen very often.)  It was 1:40 when we finished and I ordered a Didi to take me to Viva Envigado.

On the way I saw a man moving a lawn (I think it was a small soccer field) with a lawnmower, first one I remember seeing here in Medellin.

I had the granola with yogurt and fruit in Pergamino then went downstairs and had a latte in Urbania.

Teresa called and asked me to pick up a container of Greek yogurt in Ara on my way back to the apt. When I arrived in Ara I asked a worker for it and she led me right to it.

I informed Teresa that Jose & Maria have Movistar fiber optic internet and are happy with it. She said it’s fine as long as they don’t have to drill holes. I’ll still be talking to Glenn for his comments on Sunday.

I watched some news experiencing some buffering.
