Well I am sure all of you thought that this would be the first of the Egypt blogs....but sorry its not. BUT I have started on those and they will be coming soon...it will take a couple blogs to get it all in....but they will be coming.....hopefully.
Anyway I just wanted to write this blog what has happened since I have returned from Egypt....or aka my birthday.
I had a great birthday...and thank you all for the birthday wishes....its not everyday you get to turn 20 in a different country.
Amelia (my host mom) is absolutely wonderful...I honestly think that maybe she was more excited about my birthday than I was haha.
When I walked into the kitchen for breakfast the morn of my birthday there was a bouquet of flowers in front of my breakfast plate and a present on my plate. I went to go find her out on the porch and said thank you a million times....she grabbed my face gave me a kisses on my cheeks and kept saying happy birthday. I then unwrapped my gift and it was this very awesome necklace. She said I want to be your mom away from home so I want to give you a great birthday...haha she is just so cute. Then when i got home from class she had this feast prepared. We had calamari, shrimp and other appetizers first and then
we had this pot roast thing....very good. Oh we also had champagne. Then when I was finishing up lunch, Amelia left the room and when she came back she was holding this big raseberry cheesecake with a big 20 candle in it. It was so cute. She again kissed me on the cheeks and had me blow out the candles. Perfect birthday lunch! She even told me that next year when I turn 21, I will say WOW I wish I was having Amelia's Birthday lunch today....she is probably right.
That night a group of friends and I went to the bar Crazy Horse to have some drinks and then we went to a friends apartment and just hung out, we took it slow since it was a school night. Tonight is when we are really celebrating. We are going to cook in Catherine's apartment and then go out.
Perfect Spanish Birthday!!
Egypt blogs will soon be coming!
love you all...
