Last night I went to bed at 10pm, took a while to fall asleep, got up once at 4am, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

We left the apt at 11:15 and took a Didi to Jardin de Botanico. There was no line to get in and it wasn’t crowded, at least initially.

Shortly after we arrived, we found a vacant bench where we ate half the spaghetti with ground beef Teresa had brought for us. We also shared one of the two small Cokes I brought. Teresa looked at a number of stores set up but it seemed to be the same stuff as before. At one point we were resting on a bench when a “leaf” fell next to another bench close by where a couple were seated. You’ll have to zoom in and look behind the bench to see it.

The point is that the “stem” of the leaf is like a piece of plywood and if it hit it someone directly, I’m sure it could do some damage.

This is Teresa playing Hide n Seek in the “jungle”.

This is the main flower viewing area.

Teresa brought me this fruit and while she was still a distance away she said it was an apple. Obviously it's not an apple.

We left at 4:30, Didi wanted 34,300 pesos for a ride so we took the metro. On the way Teresa told me she wanted a hamburger. When we arrived at Ayura station there weren’t any taxis so we walked the 5 blocks to McDonalds. We each had the McNifica combo but incredibly they didn’t have packets of ketchup.

We returned to the apt by 7:15.

I’ve been getting these threatening emails for the past few weeks but they don’t identify themselves as Yahoo, Google, etc so I think its just a scam.

I found the Jack Reacher series on Stremio and watched the first episode.
