Friday afternoon

       

               Thursday…. . . This morning I left about 9:45 and walked through the Old Town shopping district on my way to the Café to check my Email. It was late enough by the time I arrived to order a second breakfast and inhale that before opening the computer. It took a while to clear my inbox of 60 items and react to 8 chess games that needed attention. I left the Café at 2:30 because I wanted to be home when Carlos and Natalia arrived. Natalia got in about 3:30 and explained that Carlos had to attend to a problem his daughter was having so he would not be making an appearance; perhaps another day.  Natalia left  after about a half hour to visit her sister and I started a new Novel I found on the shelf in my room. It was a quiet day and the cool sea breeze was very easy to accept.. . . . Shortly after six pm I        carried my puter and beach chair across the street to see if I could open my email. Fat chance.  I was unable to even access my Blog;I think the owner of the router I am piarating caught on to me and shut things down. I gave up and returned to the house. Natalia asked if I was successful and I told her my feelings, adding that perhaps I had ruined her chances of using that same signal when she got her laptop. She said she would ask them about it. I let her know I had no plans of making things difficult for her in her own neighborhood, the walk to the Café was simple enough for me. She  got her dander up and said, “No, I will ask”. She is a fire cracker and I feel I lit a fuse without meaning to. This morning I loaded my backpack with my laptop and water and began another day of exploring Old Town.  I left Natalia’s about 10am; right after the dryer finished with my bed cover that she had laundered earlier. She had gone to work about 8:30. I left the hous before 10am and again visited the Old Town shopping area. At 11:30 I purchased a piece of pizza and relaxed for a few minutes with that. I then returned to the house for some reading [nap] and relation. When I awoke I checked to see if I could get on the internet via across the street and it appeared that I had succeeded, from inside Natalia’s place. I quickly put the finishing touches on this little tome and attempted to post it. Did I succeed? You tell me.
