Today I am 25 years old! Although I miss everyone back home, I had a really amazing—and quite possible the best ever—birthday! I went out the night before for a terrific start to the quarter century life. The next day, I woke up and realized that for the first time pretty much ever, I didn’t have to ditch work or school… I could do whatever I wanted! It felt really, really good. =)
We were staying in lodges that night and everyone came over to start celebrating. Next stop: A fantastic dinner at Napolitana restaurant! I had an enormous meal (1 kg ribs, 300g sirloin) that well-coated my stomach for the evening’s drinking. After dinner came a few hours of ridiculously fun karaoke and then the night didn’t end until we danced at a nearby club. Awesome Birthday!!
I can’t get over how nice everyone was… one couple gave me a bottle of sparkling wine and beef jerky (LOVE)…. two girls bought me vodka, soda, and pineapple juice because they remembered me saying it was my favorite drink (!)… people offered me drinks all night… and my awesome dinner was either comp’d by the restaurant or secretly paid for by the tour leader! 22 of the 26 people on the truck were there and it was just wonderful! Other than having all you people I love back home here, I don’t think it could have been a better birthday =)
p.s. I am older than Namibia because it didn't gain its independence from Africa until 1990!
