Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, a trip to the bathroom at 1am, fell back asleep quickly, another trip to the bathroom at 4:30, couldn’t fall back sleep, got up at 5am and read until 5:40, fell back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 7:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 5,052 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 17 minutes for a sleep score of 81.

Glenn called and thanked me for my efforts with his iPad. He asked me to give it to Juan and he will go to Monterey mall and see if they can order a battery for it. I put a post-it note on it and left it with the portero when I left the apt at 9am for the gym.

Smartfit seemed a little busier than usual. I completed my workout including 18 minutes on the treadmill with a final heartrate of 120bpm.

I had a latte in Ganso y Castor for about an hour before returning to the apt.

After lunch I rested my eyes in bed for about 30 minutes.

I left the apt at 2:30 and stopped in Eduardo Madrid where I ordered 16 English muffins for pickup Tuesday afternoon.

I continued on to Ganso y Castor but all the inside tables were taken and it was too noisy outside to hear my chess lesson. ☹ I guess I need to skip this restaurant on the weekends as all tables were eventually taken and whenever I tried to connect to my cloud databases on ChessBase 16 it said it couldn’t connect to the server.

Nearby, Canada was playing in the World Cup but not many were paying attention to it. The USA plays Paraguay tonight at 8pm our time.

This is a short video of men cleaning the permanent umbrellas in the park or whatever they are called. Paraguas?

About 5:15 the men moved to the umbrella close to me and our waiter suggested I move. I just returned to the apt.

I found I have Wi-Fi but no internet.

I tried fixing the internet with no luck. I even tried restarting the router numerous times. I guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if its fixed and if not spend more time on solving the problem.

Thankfully, my cellphone still has internet because it uses the Claro network.

When I went to bed the USA Men’s Team had a 4-1 lead over Paraguay in their opening World Cup game.
