I'm pretty upset that I'm currently not at the beach celebrating my birthday, but oh well, the day gets a little better... read on...
When I got back to my house last night I wasn't able to shower because it was 11:00pm and that's too late for showering in Spain so I had to sleep in the nastiest the was the hostel I just fled. As a result, I woke up at 9:00am this morning to shower before class and was late meeting Chelsea. Even though I was only late by 4 minutes, I figured she had just left for class so I walked by myself. As a get to the building, a group of friends wished me a happy birthday and told me class was canceled. Sure enough, we walk to the classroom and there's a sign on the door that says "Ivan is sick today." Seems I missed the mass text message. So we decided to get some tea and coffee at Cafe Libreros. Because I didn't have my theology notebook to write my paper, I walked all the way back to my house, to find that Juana had gone into Madrid today to buy a wedding gift and it was just Guillermo and I in the house. Fabulous- quality time! He sat with me at lunch and we decided to go running at 6:00pm. Also, my wonderful family called to sing me happy birthday!
At 6:00, he takes me to the park to run. Running, let alone running outside, is not my thing- I made it all the way to the end of the road with only one stop, but made him walk back. Clearly, I'm not the best running partner when you're training to be a cop. On the way back, we stopped at a park, but he wouldn't play because there were too many children so he said we could go back tomorrow. We also stopped at some circus thing and saw two bears and a tiger. The walk back was super chilly *wink*
After two hours, we got back to the house, showered and ate. When I came downstairs for dinner, there was a little pair of earrings on my plate from Juana. Although my ears are too sensitive to wear them and I'm pretty sure she regifted, I guess it's the thought that counts.
Also, I found out that if Danny didn't hear me trying to get in the house the night before, I would've been sleeping the street since Juana left the keys in the door when she went to sleep. As a result, I now have the house number and Guillermo's cell- just in case ;)
Not exactly the way I would've wanted to celebrate my 21st, but hey, it's one I'll remember.
