I woke this morning at 10:00, after not nearly enough sleep (again). Like yesterday I ordered breakfast Americano from room service, and it arrived 15 minutes later, delivered by the lovely Soledad. I have a son her age, and I hope some day, that he finds a girl as sweet as her. Breakfast Americano consists of scrambled eggs, cold sliced ham and cheese, canned peaches and pears in a bowl, fresh bananas, kiwis, and apples, a large basket of assorted breads and pastries, and a curious mix of dry cereal that looks and tastes like corn flakes, frosted flakes, and cocoa puffs all in the same bowl. Also included at my request is a pot of espresso with warm milk, and a pot of cold milk. It is easily enough for three people imho for the cost of 26 pesos, which is kind of high for this city, but worth the cost to me, because it allows me the extravagance of lounging around my room in jeans and a tee shirt while waking up at my leisure. I may be missing out on the restaurants in the area, but I like it because I don't have to get up and be full functioning until after my morning coffee.
I called my favorita at 11:30 as agreed to yesterday, and she sounded delighted that I had actually called, but disappointed when I explained that I didn't want to go out for lunch. Yesterday, I had asked her to lunch, but today, I was just so tired, that I wouldn't have felt comfortable going out in public. Still, she readily agreed to come to the hotel for a couple hours, at 1:30. After a long shower etc, I felt sufficiently revived, but still less than energetic. I arranged for housekeeping to clean my room right away, explaining that mi amiga was due to arrive very soon. However, while the maid was cleaning the room, Favorita called to say she had a problem, her mother needed her this afternoon, and she apologized profusely, to which I said it was no problem because I was so tired, and needed to sleep anyway. We then made a date for tonight at 8:00, and I promised to take her to dinner after we meet in my room. She kept saying "besos mi amore" before we hung up. Damn this girl has my number. She pushes all the right buttons, while making me feel like the only man in the world. I have to tell you, if I had a novia like her in the states, I probably would never stray far from home.
That being said, instead of catching a nap like any intelligent person would do, I proceeded to plan B, which was to catch a taxi to finally go to the Orleans Café. I had planned to do this on day one, but you know what is said about best laid plans.
I will post the details of my afternoon's adventures tomorrow.
Hasta luego amigos!

Ps. While posting in the business center, I decided to skip plan B, and proceed to plan C, which is to call the twins, Las Mellizas, from Platynum;

For those of you that just followed the link, how much do you think identical twins would cost in the states. Life is so good…
