After breakfast of Arepa con huevo (the local version of a tortilla with a fried egg inside, we went went to the Rio Negro area to go cycling. Rio Negro is the "county" if you will where the airport is near. The cycling was not as steep as last time but still good climbs. Some rain but good weather, ususally about 20C (75F).
We had lunch at the apartment and O went to visit a friend so it was nap time again. I thought perhaps I should do something but then figured just rest. There is a lot of security in the buildings (24 hr doormen monitoring all coming and going) so I figured they'd probably not like me just walking around unescorted.
At 1600 I went shopping with O at EXITO which is the Wal-Mart of Colombia. Looks just like it, everything from produce on one side to washing machines on the other. Lots of multinational brands, Coca Cola, Nestle, Kelloggs, Bimbo. O bought a supply of local things. He even liked to buy his underwear there (I let me do that shopping in private). We bought some produce, esp. a tart little berry (can't remember the name).
That night we went to Luis Guillermo's and Liliana apt. which was right across the street for dinner. We had the sopa (Aji) which is apparently common to Bogota. Then the people from dinner Sat. night came over and they had a business meeting about buying a ranch together. I went to play Wii with the boys Sebastian and Santi and another boy Miguel, Moises' son. We played FIFA 09 which was very realistic esp. after seeing the soccer game live Sunday. We also played Wii Resort which had bowling (fun), archery (fun) tennis (not too good at it) and table tennis (terrible). It made you want to go play for real.
The 2 boys go to the same German school as Ignacio's daughter Maria Camila. We had fun playing - the international language.
