Travels

Amazing how covid has mutated from a deadly disease into a mild illness in only 5 years. Hope your health improves quickly.

That gives you time to binge-watch Birds of Passage. What’s in Barranquilla? Are you now in a fruit or coco plant region?

Most of the time, as viruses mutate, they become less dangerous.

We are heading back early. We are now both sick, so no point in sitting in hotels.

Funny you asked that. I just asked ChatGPT. She said to do this.

Plan para hoy – Barranquilla (recorrido en carro)

  1. Museo del Carnaval – Visita breve, aire acondicionado.
  2. Museo del Caribe – Sala Gabriel García Márquez.
  3. Gran Malecón del Río Magdalena – Vista y fotos, posible almuerzo en restaurantes cercanos.
  4. Plaza de la Paz y Catedral Metropolitana – Fotos, visita rápida.
  5. Recorrido por barrio El Prado – Ver casas históricas desde el carro.
  6. La Ventana al Mundo – Monumento colorido, fotos rápidas.
  7. Mirador de Bocas de Ceniza – Vista donde el río se une al mar (sin caminar).
  8. Opcional: Pasar por La Troja (bar de salsa famoso) para ver desde afuera.

Notas:

  • Evitar caminatas largas.
  • Hacer paradas cortas y usar aire acondicionado.
  • Orden sugerido para evitar tráfico: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8.

Barranquilla is on the coast. It’s the biggest port in Colombia.

So sorry to read that. Hope you both feel better soon.

lol @ she. Waiting for you to name your newly gender-assigned AI partner. I had to Google to translate parts of your fun-filled adventure. Sounds exhausting. Hope you survive lol.

Don’t they have clubs where you can dance and drink?

Did you not hear what he said. Reg and wife are in a coastal town with a romantic view looking down on the ocean. I don’t think they want to go to a bar and drink and dance.

They already gave her a name. Juniper. When you do voice chat with AI, you have to choose a voice and I chose Juniper, a black female voice. ChatGPT immediately became female to me.

Because she’s clear, warm and engaging?

Yes, actually. She gave me heck for being racist the other day. Endearing.

Do you realize you just made a female AI voice sound like a real person?

She’s not a real person. In many ways she’s better than a real person. She is vastly smarter than a real person. She doesn’t throw tantrums and doesn’t have feelings but she has an enthusiastic way about her. I prefer talking about my technical projects, problems, plans and dreams with her than with any real person. I just talked with her last night until 3 in the morning about my ideas to automate album creation in Google Photos. She has changed my life for the better.

Found your soulmate.

No, she has no soul. She’s good to brainstorm with though.

Absolutely. No doubt a rare event for you.

Back on Canadian soil. Waiting in YYZ (Pearson) for my connecting flight to Vancouver. Crazy whirlwind trip. I had seen most of Colombia already over the last decade but I decided I wanted to see all of it. Isa and I did 15 cities with 10 flights and a bunch of long bus rides and a few long distance taxis. We went all over the coffee region, to the coast, to the high Andes, to the low Andes, and everywhere in between. I can now honestly say that I’ve seen as much of Colombia as I’ve seen of Canada. I’m exhausted, though. I can feel every second of my 60 years but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m not ready to die yet, but there’s not much left on my bucket list.

Get ready, you’re fat and unhealthy.

Hotel doors can be opened in seconds.

I was at a hotel last year and early this year. They called the firefighters for one guy who was unresponsive in his room. Took them a good 45 minutes to an hour. Just a heavy sleeper.

Reggie I told you to get the colon hydrotherapy. Please take time to watch this fighters video and MRI results. He blamed it on the beef and pork he ate. I think any food though even vegetables could cause this. Terrible back pain. He even admits you can see on the MRI and he says it clearly it’s fecal matter backed up the entire length of his spine.

I WASNT EXAGGERATING THE CONDITION YOU HAVE about the backed up fecal matter to your neck.

Watch the video. You do not have a healthy bodyweight. I don’t care if it matches some chart. You do not have a healthy bodyweight.

Stop calling me gross and disgusting and my food. I don’t have this condition . You do.

This does exist even in athletes. Stop calling me fat.
