The honeymoon period is over for my gatita and I finally get my breakfast in bed, arepa con huevos pericos. Roughly translated its flour pancakes with scrambled eggs which are mixed with finely chopped tomatoes & red onions seasoned with black pepper & salt. A Colombian coffee to accompany the breakfast of course.
We decide after breakfast to visit all the notaries in the area and slowly but surely all say the same thing and that is that all dates are booked! Needless to say I was getting very worried we wouldn’t be able to finalise a date in the 3 day margin I have after the certificate of no impediment is issued by the British Embassy which allows me to marry in Colombia.
We reached the furthest Notary at walking distance (and that was several kilometres away), we head in and finally the legal representative reviews my papers and tells me she has good news and we can fix a date.
The wedding day will be the 15th May 2009, 4;30pm at Notary Public 11 Bogota Calle 85 No. 10-74.
After the good news we have a salpicon (fruit cocktail) it was the best one yet.
We head to the Unicentro which is yet another shopping centre to try and find the elusive ring but we are unable to find the right one. This is the place we regularly visited last year to do our food shopping and for a bite to eat.
One interesting thing I did see in the parking lot was the security guard who was supervising everything from a watch tower which I thought was a rather good idea to stop thieves and properly supervise the shopping centre car park. I might add that all bags are supervised on the way in and out of most big centres which does make one secure that thieves will avoid these places and they also check for any posssible weapons on the way in.
