Last night I went to bed at 10pm, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3:15, finally waking at 6:15 and getting up at 6:45.
According to my Fitbit, got in 6,212 steps yesterday and
last night slept for 7 hours and 37 minutes for a sleep score of 82, with a
sleep efficiency of 88%. 😊
It’s a very overcast day so I would say our trip to El
Retiro as of now is questionable.
I took a 42-minute nap and when I got up Teresa informed me,
she wanted to go to 3pm mass in El Retiro.
I put on my hiking pants with a short sleeve button down
shirt and my jacket.
We left at 11:15 and took a Didi to Exposiciones station.
Our driver was Monica and it didn’t take long for Teresa to discover she had
family in Puerto Rico and Austin, Texas. I guess Teresa said something about
Chicago because Monica said she was in Chicago last June and it’s the most
beautiful city she’s ever seen. I soon found out she speaks a little English
and learned she stayed with a girlfriend in Chicago.
We soon were on a bus to El Retiro a trip of about 90
minutes. On the way I realized I forgot to shave today. 😊
We walked up to Lomo Fino where we had our usual
lunch which cost 129,000 pesos ($40). Teresa wanted to explore the area a bit
and we found next-door restaurants that were Peruvian and then Italian.
We found a hotel a block away РEl Ensue̱o Рthat
cost $100 a night but was nothing special. A half block away we found a nicer
hotel for about the same price – La Pasada del Laguan – that we checked
out (it was empty) but when we went to put a deposit for December 23rd
to January 2nd, they were booked. ☹
It was just 4 minutes to 3pm so Teresa headed to church and
I went down to Café El Retiro where I had a latte and slice of carrot
cake. Teresa returned just before 4pm and had a dish of ice cream with coffee
and bought a bag of their coffee beans to go. The check for everything came to
99,600 pesos and I paid in cash.
We walked down to the bus station and got on the next bus
back to Medellin followed by a taxi back to our apt.
I ate the orange I bought yesterday so now I know navel
oranges are back. 😊
I guess their season (these are from Chile) extends from about early November
to mid-June. I understand they are good for my kidney stones so I’ll be buying
more of them.
Teresa talked to her mother and learned she is very sad
because she’s deaf in one ear and only 30% hearing in the other and she’s too
old for surgery.
The Bears vs Tampa Bay game was a late 8:20 start so I had
my popcorn and Coke early. Caleb Williams seldom makes interceptions but
tonight he had 3 in the first half but the defense bailed him out each time and
the Bears led 17-6 at halftime.
Teresa showed me the Bancolombia letter about the maturity
of MT’s CD. It was XX million pesos and after she repays me the 10 million pesos
loan that will only leave her XX million pesos. So, paying for her hearing
aids was a significant portion of her assets.
Caleb was intercepted again in the second half but the Bears
eventually prevailed on a last second field goal 27-24. 😊
