the beginning of 23

The first weekend of August all the volunteers in my group from the Kolda region came into the regional house for my birthday party! It was a pretty chill night, drinking horrible wine and hanging out on the patio outside.
Costa and Alex spent all night in the kitchen cooking up a delicious feast of potato salad and beer battered vegetables on a bed of rice with sweet and spicy sesame seed sauce.
On top of all that, Kelly brough out a coconut cake with cream cheese frosting at midnight. How sweet!! Then Sarah brought glow stick bracelets from who knows where. Everyone put them on and with Costa’s creative streak he had us stand in a line, take a letter each and motion the letters of my name with our arms.
The two days afterward we cleaned and painted the living room and dining room at the house. Its looks beautiful now!  

T'was a fantastic birthday! Thank you all for sending sweet birthday wishes my way!
