We did manage to score a clock at Mercado de Abasto on Saturday.
Cute, isn't it? It was only 20 pesos (about a buck fifty) so we should not have been surprised, upon bringing it home, to discover that it is deafeningly loud when there is not the noise of the huge market to drown out its incessant ticking and tocking. We have to store it in the kitchen, the room farthest from our bedroom. That at least guarantees we, i.e. Alex, will be fully up when the alarm goes off. For snoozing, it goes in the nightstand drawer wrapped in a t-shirt.
