Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

I ate the first of the bananas while it was still partly green, supposed to be healthier that way.

For the first time in a long time I’m playing an opponent with a higher rating (1583) and I’m already in trouble after only 6 moves. ☹

I left the apt at 8:30 and was surprised to see no line at the Bancolombia kiosk. I remarked to the lady there “no hay fila” and she said, “sola”.

I stopped at the Gana kiosk and paid the Movistar (internet) bill.

I had a latte outside Los Porteños. A young lady at the next table had two golden labs that didn’t seem to be listening to her. I learned her boyfriend is from Australia so I assume they are his.

She left and I talked to a Mexican American sitting a couple tables away. He’s thinking of getting a pensionado visa and buying an apt here.

I left at 10am and on my way back to the apt was surprised again there was no line outside the Bancolombia kiosk.

We left at 10:30 and waited in the porteria for MT to pick us up in a taxi. At San Fernando Plaza we went in to Gaes and took seats waiting for MT’s 11:30 appointment. MT and Teresa went into the doctor’s office while I waited outside. When they returned I paid the 2 million peso downpayment and I understand the hearing aids will arrived in about 2 weeks.

We walked 3 blocks north to Boulevard Café where we had a nice lunch of the day for 106,500 pesos. While they waited in the café I went inside the building only to find out I had the wrong building. I informed them then went next door to the Cedimed building and up to the 13^th floor but someone else had that office.

I googled ophthalmologist Dr. Catalina Montoya and she is at a different location.

I have her email address so we’ll see if that works.

We took a taxi to Santafe mall and the ladies went window shopping while I went down to Valentina’s. I ordered my latte and the waitress, that I’ve seen there many times before, I asked her if she would talk to the owners and ask them to put a café in Envigado, specifically Calle La Buena Mesa.

We left at 4:30 and bought a large carton of eggs in Jumbo and headed to the taxi station. It’s obviously under construction and we had to walk a little further where they had a temporary station set up.

It was a short wait for a taxi to return us to Envigado for 20,300 pesos.

I finally purchased round trip tickets from American Airlines for myself for $335.01 between Boston and Chicago for May 15^th and May 17^th so I can be at my granddaughter’s baptism on the 16^th.
