Saturday June 27, 2020
We had a nice day with the camera but very tiring to be sure. I hope you like today's results.
We were out at 8am to head to Roldanillo, about 50 minutes away (the famous paragliding town where she grew up) so she could visit for a while in the central park with a cousin. Roldanillo is a bigger place with a population approaching 40,000. Cristina even suggested that we move there because there would be many gringos for me to interact with... No thanks. My next move will probably be my last.
We came back and had lunch and I took my 3rd arthritis pill (out of 5) and am so far disappointed in the results. My arms still ache all my waking hours. Later spoke to David and he suggested doubling the dose because I am not a small man. We will see if that helps.
After my nap I had a good afternoon shooting in the back yard as Tom Thumb and friends were cooperating. When we go in the yard the dogs usually follow too, and get some exercise too as I collect a little sun.
We then went out to take our recycle bag to Great-Grandma Gilma (Cristina's old mom-in-law) and visit for a while with her and daughter Carmen. They are very nice people and have been very good to us. They make things with recycle products and sell the rest.
Another busy day in the offing for tomorrow..
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
