Just finished John Hankshaw's Letters Written from Colombia during a Journey from Caracas to Bogotá and Thence to Santa Marta in 1823. (1824) Well-written account of the author's seven-month trip from Caracas to Bogota, then down the Magdalena River. Especially interesting in that the revolution was still going on.

Antonio and Mary brought home baked salmon from Fusion Cuisine for lunch. Not bad.

Mary and I then had coffee and played Chinese Checkers. My trembling hands barely let me move the marbles. Seems even concentrating on a game can make me nervous. Caffeine may have added to it.

I escaped outside, taking a chance on my bronchitis. Came back in when a cool breeze came up and my folks began blowing leaves all over.
