Birthday in Albania

Hello! I know it's a little past, but I wanted to give an update on what happened on my birthday weekend!

It was really eventful, definitely packed full! Susan's brother came in from England (not for my b-day, but we can use our imagination). On Friday some friends put together a live murder mystery dinner theater! It was a lot of fun and about 75 people from around the city came in for it. This wasn't performed for me, but it was good timing to kick off the weekend!

On Saturday evening about 25 friends and I went out to eat at a traditional Albanian restaurant. My friend Louise made a cake in the form of a jayhawk too!! After dinner we went to do some karaoke at a local bar! The whole place sang to me in both English and Albanian and I was given a rose from one of the waiters! I did my fair share of singing and dancing, and thankfully for you all I can't put video footage on here! Or shall I say, thankfully for me!!

On Sunday I went up the Sky Tower (a tall building with a revolving cafe on the top with a great view) for a coffee with Susan and her brother. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the view. We met up with some other friends to go bowling after that. Eventually I made it home to be able to wish my sister and my dad a happy birthday as well! The time change thing is really tricky sometimes, but that day it was actually very useful!!

I had a great birthday weekend! Thanks for all your calls and emails!
