Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, slept through the night, finally waking up at 5:45 and getting up with Teresa at 7am. 😊

According to my Fitbit, I got in 2,598 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 34 minutes for a sleep score of 83.

We left the apt at 11am, picked up MT and were dropped off at Estacion Exposiciones for 12,600 pesos. The entire entrance to the metro station was closed off by drywall so we had to walk a block south to catch an El Retiro bus. While sitting in the back next to a window a young man outside handed me a Bon Bon Bum (like a Tootsie Roll Pop) and since it was strawberry I didn’t refuse and gave him all my change, probably about 1,500 pesos.

We soon left, traffic was good and we arrived in El Retiro in about an hour.

We walked up to the park to Lomo Fino and only 3 others were waiting ahead of us for a table.

The ladies had the chicken breast and I had the solomito for a total of 184,000 pesos ($57). As usual the center of my steak was a little rarer than I prefer so I just ate the rest with my usual Coke.

We moved down the street to Café El Retiro and pretty much had our choice of tables. (Some tables have stools instead of chairs which I find hard on my back.)

I won a close game against chesswiz98, in the endgame, increasing my rating to 1535.

We all had coffee, I had a slice of carrot cake (not as good as previously) and the ladies shared a slice of some other type of cake.

We left at 4:45, walked back down the hill to the bus station and soon were on a bus back to Medellin. There’s always a line of taxis at the station; we dropped off MT at her apt and continued on to our place for 28,000 pesos. I stopped in Ara to buy milk before returning to the apt.

I watched another episode of Falling Skies before starting my pre-sleep reading routine.
