Turning 23 in Africa!!

Well, yesterday (June 15th) was my 23rd birthday. My first birthday here in Africa. My teammates made the day very special for me. They made a cake and we played Taboo for a while. The cake actually had 23 candles on it!! I felt very old seeing the top of the cake covered with candles! You know you're in Africa when you have to blow out the candles quickly because they melt so much faster here and so wax begins dripping on the cake!! You can see the picture of the cake and me blowing out my candles (all in one blow, too!!)!
















The day was fun, despite the fact I still had to go to language class. Our teacher told me that I was the boss of class that day since it was birthday. Unfortunately, "Class hanti" (class over) wasn't an option, even for the boss!

Over all, it was great day!! What a great way to spend a birthday - celebrating in Africa!!
