As you all know, it's my birthday on Sunday - if you don't know, I'll be 45 years old. To make the most of the birthday, I'm going away for the weekend. The school has a house in Tigre, on one of the islands off the Rama Negra. It's nothing spectacular, but it is quiet and out of the city. I'm taking all my Spanish notes and I'm going to try to put them in order (and this includes doing all my outstanding homework - yes I know... but teachers make the worse students). I'll be taking my camera and a good book to read, mosquito repellent and a quilt. I have to catch a train then a boat (which takes about an hour) but I think it'll be worth it.
Even though my birthday is on Sunday, we had the ritual cake and card today (much as I tried to avoid it, I couldn't). It was originally going to happen on Monday but that is another teacher's actual birthday so I elected to have mine early (more cake for everyone). Here's a picture of my corkboard containing momentos of all my social visits and the big pink thing in the middle is my birthday card!
