The list of things that we did today are numerous, but nothing was really all that important.
- There was a huge football match here in Medellin today between the two Medellin teams. This is a huge rivalry that goes way back and when they play each other in their home stadium (home to both teams) it is a huge event. We even looked into getting tickets or joining a tour event of the game but in the end Rudy’s lack of enthusiasm for the game of soccer and my penny pinching ways clinched the deal and we will not attend. And therefore it wasn’t a very important event, at least to us.
- At breakfast, at our favourite restaurant, the two waiters, each wearing the team colours of opposing teams were amicable with each other despite who they cheer for. So nothing exciting or important happened there unless you count our delicious cappuccinos not important. Well I guess I take that back. They were a very important. Especially for Rudy.
- I planned a walk to the Parques del Rio today (as I had hugely enjoyed last Sunday in the park) but really nothing important happened there either. However, some annoying things did. A jolly, but slightly drunk man harassed me about my drawing for way too long. Also there were way too many French Bulldogs around. (They seem to be the dog of choice here.)
- The Jets played the Buffalo Sabres in the afternoon and that definitely wasn’t good and therefore I deem it unimportant. The Jets lost 5 to 3.
- I had a million phone calls with some of my relatives (my sister and some of my offspring). Important to me. But less so to you, the reader.
- And finally supper. We had pasta. Does anyone care? (crickets) I guess it’s not that important.
And that was our day.
