Just a Normal Birthday Abroad

This morning I woke up and slowly sang:

Cumpleaños a mi
Cumpleaños a mi
Me deseos a todo
Cumpleaños a mi

Which is a version of Spain's birthday song, but altered because I was singing it to myself.

Once we finally got our butts out of the hostel today, I had such an amazing day. Amber and I walked all over the city. We walked from one side to the other, and across again. We have been out for the last seven hours and it feels great! We went to lunch and had an amazing lomo sandwich. Mmmmm. Then we went and sat in Plaza Independencia and I wrote in my journal while Amber read. We must have sat there for an hour and a half in the sunshine! It was a gorgeous day; the weather was sunny and not a cloud in the sky! I wrote in my journal today about how if this is winter, I best move out of North Idaho!

Amber and I bought cotton candy in the park and it was so delicious. Who needs birthday cake when you can have cotton candy for a dollar?? We also went to the italian gelato shop as Amber wanted some after recently reading Eat, Pray, Love (well I did too since its the book I'm currently reading, but I can't have it!). It was fun. Again, the sun shining the whole time.

We tried to wait out the siesta but found out that its a national holiday in Argentina today so a lot of the shops were closed. It didn't stop me from having a good day though. It was a pretty great day in fact.

Amber and I are trying to go to a tapas bar for dinner tonight, but I guess we will see if its open in an hour or so. If not, we'll have to find something near buy because the supermarkets are all closed!

So I guess you could say I've had another normal birthday abroad. When I was in the park today I thought, well maybe I should go abroad for my birthday every few years...I could get into that tradition...maybe not my wallet, but the rest of me could!

P.S. Yes, I had to call my mom today from the southern hemisphere just to here all three of the birthday songs!!
