As
I said yesterday, we were starting early, out the door at 7:05am to be
in the Tulua Bancolombia bank line-up for 8am opening. We were in line around 7:20 and
were already behind about 100 people trying valiantly to maintain social
distancing, going around the block. By 8:45 we had made it to the
corner and by 9:30 we could see the door. We got in the door at 9:50am
but I was sent outside again as they would only see one of us, not
both. We were changing an expiring CD in Cristina's name. At 10:30am
Cristina got me back inside but still had to meet alone with the
Asesor. We got out of there after 11am. After I had seen the lineup, I
had told Cristina that we were in for a 4-hour marathon, and I had it
almost on the nose. Remember, this is the biggest bank in town.... and it still has such antiquated systems that take forever to do the simplest tasks. It took me 1/2 the time as this when I worked in the Bank Of Nova Scotia 1969-1971, and doing everything manually.... Oh, and Scotiabank basically owns Bancolombia...
From there we spent $110 USD on needed groceries at LA14, mostly my stuff and more multi-vitamins. Then we filled up Lizzie's tank to the brim for under $14 USD on the way home.
The photos today are all with the little Lumix which I still carry in my fanny pack but hardly ever use. It is an OK camera in the daylight and has an amazing zoom capability. The writing on the buttons in some spots are wearing off surprisingly. I have to remember now which is the one I need to view the pics, lol.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
