And Chile celebrated the 197th anniversary of its first step towards an independent government.
I had a fantastic day... talked to my family at home, got presents, walked to Mass, had a cook-out, went to see the beginning of the sunset, etc. The weather was amazing! So weird having a birthday in spring!
On my walk, I collected flowers! Click here for the album. I also collected flags the day before, album here.
My cake!
My host mom and dad dancing cueca, the Chilean national dance!
So beautiful!
Me attempting to blow out my single candle. I tried not to blow the coconut stuff all over the table, and as a result, I didn't blow the candle out. lol. (mom, notice what skirt I'm wearing? :-) The one I got for my birthday 2 months ago!)And for the rest of the pictures from yesterday:

Well, I'm heading off for a relaxing trip to Salamanca, which is about 5 hours north of here by bus, this afternoon. So my internet time will be limited if any while I'm there. If you email me or anything I might not get back to you until Sunday evening or Monday.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes/cards/facebook messages/emails!

The flowers are gorgeous and your "flag collection" was interesting.
