Getting hitched again!

We again woke up late this day and took our time leisurely watching TV and finally resetting our clocks. However, we were extremely confused when our computers and clocks kept forcing “Saturday” with today's date – we had literally forgotten that we had lost a day in our transition to BA, and thought today was Friday. Hopefully this is the last time that we completely forget what day it is!


We headed back to Palermo, where the central area was completely different because it was filled with street vendors for the weekend market. The items for sale included clothes, leather goods, jewelry and art. We were on a very specific mission though – I needed to get married again. Let me explain....

We decided to leave my wedding rings at home for fear of losing them or having them stolen. However, Robert brought his ring, so my naked ring finger had caused me to spend the past 4 days feeling like his mistress and it was driving me nuts! After a LOT of searching, I finally found a modest ring with a small faux diamond at one of the boutiques. After a bit more browsing, we decided to have a bottle of wine at Club Serrano, which apparently turns into a hopping club late at night.

We went home to cook dinner & save some money, and after a short siesta we got ready to hit a neighborhood club called The Basement, which is an Irish pub up top & a club with a DJ underneath. We arrived around 2:30am, and just as the guidebook said, it was only about half full. The sound system was very good, and the DJ was spinning all deep house (Erika & Mark, we were thinking of you!)  We later learned it was Manuel Sofia & Soundelixe. Sure enough, by about 4am the club was packed. There were a few Americans there, but mainly porteños. It was nice to discover a club that is so safely close to home!
