So even though my birthday was last weekend, I still have not gotten around to writing about that three day celebration.
Thursday night I went out with my au pair friends and ended up on a date with a couple of Spanish guy friends, but I was able to ring in my 22nd year at midnight in my favorite bar, Dama Juana, with my favorite friends all around me.
Friday, my actual birthday, I worked the whole day, but for the merienda, afternoon cafe and snack time, two of my friends made me a chocolate cake with Pineapple and strawberry sauce and I blew out all but one of my 22 candles as I made my birthday wish (which I of course cannot share!!!)
It was a nice little party and I received an angel shaped candle and chocolate from my host family, homemade bracelets from the neighbor children, a balloon from my four year old girl, and two homemade key chains from my closest friend here, Melanie.
Saturday night we made a plan to go to Cadiz and spend the whole night bar and club hopping, since the first train back Sunday morning was at 8:10. We saw a couple really interesting bars to begin the night, and ended at some cool clubs in the shipping docks in the old part of the city.
Here are some pictures of the progression of that night and just silly photos of me and my au pair friends. Enjoy!
I also received a cool camera necklace from another friend and I used some birthday money from my mom to buy some new Spanish clothes, which should not be a surprise to anyone! I even received a birthday card from my Grandma that arrived on my actual birthday, much to the shock of my host family.
All in all, though I was reluctant, and still have not wrapped my head around the idea of being 22, it was a good birthday celebration!
