It was my twenty-sixth birthday. That's right-- I'm closer to thirty than I am to twenty. Makes a girl want to vomit a little.
It was a good day. I took some kids on a mini field trip to visit some embassies in the city, and I met up with some friends later for dinner and cake and silliness. Solid birthday.
Here's how I'd like to remember it: Walked five miles. Wrote my name in Japanese. Tapped my feet to steel drums. Smiled at an Uzbek. Took a gangsta picture. Rocked a Tae Kwon Do headband. Poked a kid in the eye. Danced in Venezuela. Posed with Gandhi. Got sung to. Ate an amazing cheeseburger. Reveled in the company of great friends. Came to new realizations. Made a fool of myself. Blew out a candle.
