Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, a trip to the bathroom at 11:30, fell back asleep quickly, another trip to the bathroom at 3am, couldn’t fall back sleep, got up and read until 4:30, fell back asleep, finally waking/getting up at 6:15.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 7,434 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 11 minutes for a sleep score of 71.

I had coffee with Marcos and updated him on Glenn’s status. Glenn has contact information (601 909-0770) of a rabbi here in Medellin who speaks English. He also gave me estimated costs here for:

·      Cremation - $500

·      Burial (Jewish section of a Catholic cemetery) - $3000

·      Shipping his body back to the States - $20,000

I returned to the apt and Glenn called and informed me he has a brain tumor and is only expected to live another 2 months. He said he wants to be cremated but his brother wants his body shipped back to the States. I sent Carrie an email with the above information.

After lunch I went for a 45-minute nap but just ended up resting my eyes.

I left the apt at 2:15 for Gardenia. They had a screen set up and were showing the opening World Cup match between Mexico and South Africa. Mexico won 2-0. I took a seat inside and started my next chess lesson which was to play 2 games at a 15 minute 10 second time control then analyze them. I won the first game but 1) missed a candidate move, 2) played too fast. I won the second game but missed an early opportunity to win a pawn.

I was finishing up my analysis of the second game when Teresa entered with her friend Lucy. They took a table outside and I packed up and soon joined them. Later Teresa saw two ladies at the next table eating small pulled pork burgers so she ordered them for us. They were very good although I wasn’t a fan of the dark buns. Then the next table ordered oatmeal waffles with berries and Teresa ordered those for us. I paid the bill of 90mil and we left just after 6pm and returned to the apt.

Mr-Santos resigned our game on the 43^rd move increasing my rating to 1502.

I watched some news, The Chris Hayes Show, then started my pre-sleep reading.
