Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, finally waking/getting up at 6:20am.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 7,949 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 7 hours and 56 minutes for a sleep score of 80 and a sleep efficiency of 95%. 😊

I left the apt just after 7am and quickly caught a bus to Medellin. It was standing room only but after I paid the driver a woman in the 2^nd row motioned me to the window seat next to her. “Muchas gracias, muy amable”. As I got off the bus just before Calle 7 my elbow bumped a helmet or something of the young lady behind me. I turned around and we both said, “pardon” at the same time. I crossed Calle 6 and cut through the bank parking lot and up the hill and as I turned up the path to Cedimed I noticed the same lady behind me. I turned around and in English said, “Are you following me?” and she laughed. I presented my medical order and my cedula at the entrance to the waiting room, was given a number and took a seat. (Interesting that this time I didn’t have to say, “no sexo, no bicicleta, no caballo, no comida”.) Five to ten minutes later I paid 428,300 pesos ($136) for all my blood & urine tests. Another 5-10 minutes later I was allowed in back and the phlebotomist took 3 vials of blood and put a small round “bandaid” on my blood site and I had her add the regular Band-Aid I brought with me. I was given a urine cup and after a trip to the restroom returned the urine sample.

Outside I walked up the hill to Carrera 37 then north to Calle 10. Another 2 blocks down to Carrera 35 and I didn’t see D’Andre so it must have closed and I don’t know when I’ll have hash browns again. I found Delarte nearby and they had what looked like an American breakfast. I ordered it with a latte and it was a lot of food.

I paid and as I walked back to Calle 10 I saw D’Andre restaurant. I must have missed it because it was behind a wall and up a few steps. I guess I’ll have to wait another 6 months for my hash browns.

I walked down to Avenida Poblado and quickly caught a bus back to Envigado. I got off at the Gardenia bus stop and stopped inside for another latte while completing 12 more chess puzzles, getting all of them correct. Finally!

I left at 11am and returned to the apt. Julio handed me my box of chess books as I entered the porteria.

I left at 2pm and walked to Blue’ Smash Brgr where I tried their vanilla milkshake

I think in the future I’ll stick with a Coke. I started reading the Step 1 book and the first 45 pages consisted of advice for the chess teacher.

I left at 3pm and returned to the apt.

I watched another couple episodes of Seal Team.
