Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, slept through the night, finally waking/getting up at 5am.

According to my Fitbit, I got in 5,783 steps yesterday and last night I slept for 6 hours and 23 minutes for a sleep score of 75 and a sleep efficiency of 87%. 😊

Teresa got up at 5:30 and made my breakfast before she left for her gym class.

I left the apt at 7:30 and had a latte in Los Porteños while solving 10 chess puzzles, getting 4 wrong. I then played a 15’10” game, winning in 23 moves.

I left at 9:30 and returned to the apt.

Troyclough resigned our game in 14 moves, increasing my rating to 1563.

Teresa and I left the apt at 10:30 and took a Didi to Dann Carlton Belfort arriving just before 11am. Our private driver, Victor Cuartas Alzate (+57 305 403-6844), that Jim had arranged arrived on time. He spoke very good English and had a very spacious all electric car. He said it costs almost literally nothing (500 pesos) to charge it every month. It also came with a 500,000-kilometer, 8-year warranty.

We arrived at La Ceja’s park an hour later. It was much cooler (cold even) as we arrived. I guided them to Pimentos restaurant and we had no trouble getting a table. I had their spaghetti bolognese and a mango juice and Teresa one of their 3 types of salmon.

Jim and Joan had salads and everyone thought their food was delicious. I paid 150,000 pesos for our share of lunch. Outside we stopped in a nearby store where Joan bought a hoodie for 61,000 pesos. It started dripping as they went to explore the park area while Teresa and I cut straight across the park to Candilejas. I had a churro and a latte, that not only was good but very hot. They joined us about half an hour later and Joan had a cookie. We walked down to the bus station and after a short wait were on a bus back to Medellin. They got out at Indiana mall to have a glass of wine in El Correo while we continued on to Medellin. (Our next scheduled meetup will be Thursday night at Barrio Sur to watch the Bears game.) At Exposiciones station we quickly caught a taxi back to Envigado.

Teresa returned to the apt and I went next door to Ara and bought milk and a few red apples.

I watched another episode of Seal Team then The Chris Hayes Show.

I finished reading James Patterson’s Cross the Line (Alex Cross #24) on my Kindle.   

It was still raining when I went to bed at 10pm.
