Sigonella, Sicily (Italy)

Arrived in Sicily by around 0200L - exhausted.  We went to check in at the NAS Sigonella Bachelor Housing (Navy Gateway Inn) and I finally was in my room by 0300. Tired...  My internal clock is all messed up. Watched some TV and fell asleep around 0400. Awoke to hammering outside my door - still got enough sleep to operate OK... Had to go over for work around 1300 - saw some old friends. Around 1400, drove over to the Days Inn Pub for drinks and late lunch (dinner). Spent several hours there and saw even more old friends. Eventually went to a nearby grocery store to do a little shopping. On the way back to our hotel, we saw an amazing sight in the sky: the crescent moon with Venus and Jupiter close-by. Read about it on the internet later - it was a rare conjunction. Met some friends later for drinks at the sports bar. They had wireless and we stayed there drinking German beer until around midnight. Very enjoyable evening - it is great to be back in Sicily!
