Life
Orienting myself in Medellin – just before I leave again! Managed to get a gym membership etc. The apartment I was staying in was too big, and I didn’t have hot water for a couple of days which was stressful.
(more life updates on wherethehelliscate.com)
Work
Great! I mean. Busy. Stressful. But great! I like my job and I feel like I am figuring it out.
Places
In Medellin: Went to the Museo de Antioquia, found breakfast I like at Café Fionna Bistró and Archie’s (amazing scrambled eggs).
In NYC: brunch at Jack’s Wife Frieda (amazing), iced tea at my favourite Chatime, dim sum at Ping’s and dinner at Quan. Went to the Met for the first time which was great. Found the Degas (love) and there’s a really varied collection of Picasso paintings.
Media
Finished Season 4 of How I Met Your Mother. Finished Beyond Blame. Read How to be a Grown Up (slow to get into but by the end I loved it, surprisingly).
