Never heard back from Dayana all day yesterday. Thank goodness for Sara B. She had her swimming class yesterday so I walked over there and met her afterwards. We went to this Mexican restaurant nearby and had dinner and talked for a long time. She put me in a better mood. That's my second time at that restaurant and it's actually not bad. I've never really come across good Mexican food in Colombia but this place is acceptable. I had some cerdo al pastor and they did a good job.

). After that we walked back over to the mall and sat and talked for a while over some ice cream. She basically said that she is always super busy with school and work and for that reason hadn't seen me. She seems pretty interested and even talked about inviting me to her hometown in December. She had class this morning at 7am so around 10pm we called an Uber to drop me off then bring her home. I barely got a couple of pecks on the lips, but it was something. She's a very interesting girl and a lot of fun, so we'll see how it goes over the last few weeks.
You gotta hit me up with some of these pics!
. I finished up work at 4pm, went to the gym, came back and wrote her asking if we were good. She said it was clear there now and she was going to change (we were supposed to meet at 6pm). I jumped in the shower, got ready, called an Uber, and headed that way. I wrote to her and she said she was calling a car. I was about halfway there and she wrote saying it was raining again, then that no car would accept her ride. I said I'll have my guy stop over and we'll pick you up. No, it's raining really hard now and I'll get wet. Don't you have an umbrella? Yes. I'll give you the rain jacket I'm wearing while you walk to the car under your umbrella. No, you don't understand, bla bla bla, better if we see each other another day. Yeah... sure thing.

. Her affection in the car, uh, reminded me that the evening fun might be dampened a bit, but it was what it was.
and 
and 
later, I dried off and headed out to walk over to a nice mall about 10 min walk away. I was quickly reminded that I was in part of what is considered the coastal region of Colombia. There's Colombia and then there's la costa (which obviously includes Barranquilla and Cartagena as well). It was 11am and it was 90 degrees, and it was chaos. I left the nice neighborhood I was in and started down a wide sidewalk alongside the main road, which was to my right. I glanced over and saw the cars stopped for a light, then heard the sounds of motos. I looked up and saw 3-4 motorcycles hurtling towards me on the sidewalk 
. My first reaction was to be on guard, because multiple motos or two guys on motos is how many street crimes are perpetrated here. But I saw more coming behind them and realized that they were just bypassing the traffic. In every city down here you commonly see tons of motos weaving in and out of stopped traffic, but this was the first time I'd ever seen them use the sidewalk. I continued on my way in my usual manner of trying to walk like I know where I'm going, with a cara armargada on my face. I think I was also slightly on guard because Delight told me it was dangerous outside and if I decided to walk to the mall to not look so gringo 
and said heey and she just smiled. I said ok I'll just pay cash, thanks. They gave me my change and my condoms in a bag and I said to the first girl so all colombianos are the same then? She thought about it for a second and said yes, and I said ahh and smiled and walked out. Delight had sent me a message earlier saying that I wouldn't like what was for lunch so for me to just get something to eat first, so I stopped in the food court and got some pizza and then headed back to the room (once again with motos on the sidewalk but no issues, though I did have to backtrack myself after I realized I'd passed the street with the hotel).
(I can't seem to find the jaw drop smiley, is it gone?). We took the same car she arrived in over to the mall, and if I didn't attract attention before the two of us together sure seemed to. A tall black girl and a tall (relative to Colombians) gringo walking around holding hands or arm in arm, not to mention her in that little black dress (come to think of it, that was probably the source for most of the attention). We were there for a while and went into several stores looking at various things, talking, etc. She said she was hungry so we went to the food court and she decided on KFC 
. We ate then caught a taxi back to the room. We put on some movies for a while and were getting tired, we started kissing a bit and she said she still had a headache and rolled over, so we went to sleep.
. Then I packed up as she took a shower (the only reason I didn't join her was that 
. I noticed that in the video she was inside and wearing a jacket. The other pictures and things she had sent me from Venezuela seemed pretty warm climate. So that combined with the gps info on Tinder made me think 
. I have to say that it hurt my feelings and I was a bit disappointed. I just said something like you didn't want to see me (not giving away what I know) and she said it's not that, it's just that I'm somewhere else and it's impossible
