Thursday

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened today. The day unfolded at an unhurried, quiet pace, so gentle that it almost brought a sense of guilt for not having planned and pursued something more eventful.

Ursula spent part of the morning mending a tablecloth before turning to the vacuum cleaner, while Marli moved through the house, tending to her daily cleaning routine.

I passed a good portion of the day helping Wally bring some order to his MacBook Air and experimenting with ChatGPT. The hours slipped by easily as we explored, adjusted, and learned together.

In between, I took a few photographs of the house’s interior and striking images of the illuminated clouds in the sky.

In the afternoon, a rain shower drifted through, taking the edge off the heat and leaving the air pleasantly cooler.

Soon after, the electricity began to falter, flickering on and off before settling into a series of blackouts. Strangely, it didn’t feel like an inconvenience. By candlelight, the living room was transformed into a romantic-looking space.

With the sunset, our stomachs began to growl, and with that, we headed out in search of a Buteco for something light to eat. Klanago's Bar was just the right place! Serving chicken wings (Tulipa), bacon-wrapped beef, and other local favorites on a skewer. And of course, our favorite "Original" light beer. 😋😋😋. Many other guests came over to greet us as they recognized Marli and Wally, who frequent this street bar often.Read more
