Birthday Weekend!


Wednesday February 20th.

  I turned 22 on Monday,  wooo hooo! I kept forgetting it was my birthday because I’m on a beach! Usually in February I’m cuddled up in sweats. I am not complaining though! We went and had sushi with our friends Niel and Devon. Somehow I have adopted the nick namename “ The Hobbit” because I am so short. Whenever we go out somewhere I always get bopped on the head.  The boys  were sweet and bought me a little silver “hobbit” ring for me to wear around a necklace.  It’s a big joke between Team American and them, I am sort of starting to grow used to it!    Other than Monday we had a pretty quiet and relaxed weekend!


Friday:  We didn’t do much of anything! After school we went to the beach and stayed until around 4pm. We get out of school at 1:00 on Fridays!
J  We hung out around our apartment and lounged for quite some time. We couldn’t decide on anywhere to eat until all of the restaurants had stopped serving.  The only places that were serving still were fast food and there are a few, but we didn’t want to walk that late at night! So, we called a taxi and had him take us to McDonalds! It’s the first time I’ve had fast food since leaving.  Not only did I get a Big Mac Meal, but also I got it “large sized” and I devoured it. I didn’t leave a single crumb! Needless to say, I enjoyed it.J 

Saturday: We stayed at the beach and then went to eat dinner! Very boring but we needed a restful weekend. We are all either in the midst of our solo teaching or beginning.  

Sunday:  We headed out to a restaurant called Bridge Creek Brewery. It was so sleek and modern. We had a really nice time and were able to sit outside in the warm sunshine.   It was crazy windy when we left and apparently it was strong enough to knock out power in Port Elizabeth for a good 6 hours! It was fine when the sun was still up but it was starting to get late. Our neighbors had also gone to eat with us so they said we could come over to their flat because they had candles that we could light. Finally the lights came on around 11:00pm our time which was 3:00 Kentucky time.
