Birthday Party

I guess the English Teacher part of me never goes off duty during our time in this hot city. My birthday party being a good example of that. We played games like "telephone" and "simon says." (You know, now that I think about it, it sounds like I had a party with a bunch of 5th graders- where "simon says" and "telephone" would be very appropriate- and not with some twenty-something year olds ..... can someone sign me up for some social orientation upon our arrival back home?)

Anyway, the silly games were a hit. We played all the way until we had a winner- it's kind of tricky to get adults out in the game of simon says. The fried chicken tenders (along with sambal/ hot sauce) and birthday cake disappeared a lot faster than I thought they would and the room was reeeal crowded.

These pictures are of the groups during the games - yes, they are animals. To be specific, they are chickens, elephants, lions, and monkeys. I think everyone loves a chance to act like an idiot every once in a while, after all.

They bought me a t-shirt with a becak and all signed their names. What a clever idea and great friends God has given me!
