My birthday was Monday (January 11) as well as my one year anniversary of living in Granada!
We celebrated in fine form with a girls’ night on Saturday. We started with wine and tapas and then moved into dancing at a discoteca called Ganivet (which burned down this year and has only recently re-opened. I really like it, as the music is great and it’s not a far walk from home).
On Monday (my actual birthday) I baked myself some Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcakes sent from home in my new toaster oven (my christmas present from M&D!). They were, of course, delightful. Melinda and Rafa also surprised me with some mini-cupcakes, singing and a nice thick book in English!! A great day!
Monday night Melinda and I met up with my other Texas friends- Chris and Margaret (from Houston) and Angel at a Mexican restaurant for some fajitas and margaritas! A fantastic birthday!
SABES QUE
In Spain people don't buy you drinks or dinner for your birthday, but the typical custom is for the birthday boy or girl to pay for EVERYONE'S dinner and drinks for the entire night! My group of friends chooses not to partake in either custom.
I would definitely not get near as excited about my birthday if I had to pay for everyone else. I'm glad they did not make you do that.
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah - happy belated birthday! It must be our one year anniversary of meeting you too! I remember you arrived without your cases and wore your boots solidly for the first week - plus the odd loaned sock etc...
