Sigonella, Sicilia (Italy)

Slept until 0800L. Worked at the Business Center for several hours and cleaned my room before heading over for lunch at the Galley. Investigated the possibility of being able to mail some pottery (and other souvenirs home) - may work out after all. Mailed some postcards and checked out the progress of our maintenance crew (aircraft wash) - we got them some pizza for their trouble. Watched movie at Take5 ("Book of Eli"). Jim D. called me late in the afternoon asking if I wanted to stop by for dinner. He picked me up around 1815L and I spent a few hours at his home. We had something that sounded like "edamame" (soy beans?) while Jim grilled some more of his delicious flank steak. His boys showed up for dinner and then we played video games (X-Box auto racing) until 2130L. Jim took me back to the NAS Sigonella Navy Gateway Inn and then I worked on genealogy for about an hour. Watched TV until it was time to bed (around 2300).
