Today we celebrate Mr. Gio’s 21st Birthday!! WahoO! After a full day of school presentations and a visit with a local pastor -- not to mention some African hospitality…coffee, tea, and pie with little-to-no advance notice we were even coming… I learn so much from this culture’s hospitality!! – Anyway, we finished the day off with a BanG. We ate dinner at an outdoor restaurant in a waterfront shopping center and had a wonderful meal. Gio got a piece of cheesecake for his birthday, which we all decided looked and tasted like a block of Philadelphia cream cheese. When we got home we surprised Gio with our fully decorated hostel rooms followed by a dance party (his favorite) that ended up lasting three or four hours. It reminded me of times at the Deeg. Midway through the party Bonnie and Amber surprised Gio with a chocolate birthday cake decorated with the country of Africa in sprinkles… It was really nice. They spent the rest of the night watching us make fools of ourselves singing and dancing… and even videotaping us.
Happy Birthday G!
