My birthday here was actually pretty relaxed but thats kind of how I like to do things anyways, so for me it was great. Well, that and the fact I'm considering just being in Spain for 9 months to be the best birthday present ever. That does NOT of course excuse you from getting me a gift... nice try though.
On the morning of my birthday I had to work for a few hours, so after pressing the snooze button on my alarm about...hum, 10 times!...I got up and got ready for school. When I got to school my coworkers were really nice and all remembered it was my birthday- not what I was expecting because if I were to tell someone I recently met in the states it was my birthday they probably would have forgotten...even if I told them hours before lol. They also got me a gift which was sooo sweet and just made me smile. Inside the basket was white wine (of course...what good basket comes without wine???), organic olive oil, a type of HOMEMADE cinnamon liquor or maybe liqueur (not sure how one would define it), some membrillo jam type stuff (check the oct 8th posting to learn more about membrillo), goat cheese in olive oil, turron and sugar (haven't tried it yet so don't know what it tastes like...but i'm sure I'll like it- it has sugar) and ALSO a plate of HOMEMADE mini pastries and homemade truffles- chocolate and coconut!!! How sweet of them right?
the rest of the post will be finished later today/tomorrow because i'm about ready to pass out after a long day in Cordoba and then learning the dance to Thriller...
