Tunica Vaginalis Mesothelioma – A journey

Long weekend in Colombia. Monday will be a holiday, one of the 17 colombian holidays every year. Some catholics (which where moved to mondays because of a law, excluding the ones from the holy week, of course), and the others are the civic ones, conmemorating our independence, and things like the labor day (may 1, the day after my birthday!). Even so, our constitution states that our country is a lay country. Who can undesrstan this with all those catholic holidays? This weekend´s holiday is the “all saints day” holiday.

So, yesterday didn´t have to work, so tried to sleep till´late, but the guys from the construction right in front our apartment started working early, so we couldn´t sleep that much. The whole morning trying to get my wife´s Iphone working, because we had to buy one oon ebay from Canada, have it sent to Dallas to my brother in law, then he sent it to Charlotte, and then Catalina´s uncle brought it to Bogotá, what a trip for the Iphone! Well, the carrier said it works here, but that we need to unlock its bands, so we went to one of those low profile stores, and they tried to unlock the bands, but couldn´t because they said it has the newest apple software, and that they haven´t developed the software to unlock. I will try to look on the internet for the software, and will try on other place, but if we can´t, we´ll sell it on ebay, and ship it to the buyer from Washington.

On the afternoon, after having a great lunch on WOK (Asian food chain, very good), some chicken laab tacos (the taco made out of crispy lettuce), and mandarin rice with calamari, came home and had a great 3 hours nap. Deserved.

Then went shopping with my wife, because the fridge ran out of food. And that´s the reason from the picture above. I bought some delicious “Knackwurst”, whiche makes me remember the time I lived in Berlin, back in 2004, working as a bellboy for the Marriott Hotel from Potsdamer Platz. Almost everyday after work, I walked behind the hotel, right where a big balloon is (still) located and flyes some feet up in the air for a nice view from the city, and right on the top from Hitler´s or someone´s bunker. Well, the Nazis from the 40´s were replaced by a nice guy selling all kind of german sausages, with a huge variety of mustards. It was so amazing delicious, beef sausages, knackwursts, all kind of them! of course…with some bread, a perfect german style hot dog! So, I bought this sausages, and I´ll tell how they taste!

Late night, avoiding all the halloween stuff, went with Catalina, and Jeronimo & girlfriend, Tomas (another best budy), and my brother in law, downtown, escaping from the halloween´s crowd, to an area called “La Macarena” where one can find great restaurants, with very moderated prices. This time we went to an italian restaurant. I had gnoccies with four cheese sauce, of course after having a shared garlic squid and octopus dish. And for going with some sweetnes on the heart to bed, we ordered a delicious chocolate mousse. Tasty night.

8:00 a.m. just woke up. My wife has flu, and she´s still sleeping. Good morning everybody, and good afternoon in Europe, and a great night for my buddies in Asia.
