Day 24 - May 6, 2012

I love Saturdays here. They’re always the culminating experience of each weekend, and since weekdays are usually quiet… it’s frequently the best day of the week. Today is no exception. Waking late and hungover from last night’s adventures I spend a pleasantly slow afternoon with L____ while Dodio finishes work. Before joining the madness at Tesco we enjoy the fine dining at KFC, where I tried to ask for an extra serving of Fried Chicken that went completely awry and and ended up with me leaving the counter before they could take the meal away. After locating the necessities at the supermarket we head home to make dinner and plans for the night. One bottle. Dodio lets us know that the rest of the evening’s plans will be revealed to him upon finishing a second bottle at Rafa’s, which we do. Joined there by Rafa and A___, plus our new Israeli friend, we all head downstairs where the Tonight bar welcomes us. Tequila, bom Bom! And… they’re off. The bartender plays along with our antics as we become social with a few of the bar’s quieter, steadier clientele including a nice woman and an old German man who wanted absolutely nothing to do with us. More shots, and when I turn around Dodio is now dancing on the stage and swinging on the stripper-poles like a madman. It’s not before long that we’ve all joined him, swinging our drinks around truly and blissfully ignorant of the fact that we’re the only people in the whole room dancing.
