Today is Dan's "real" birthday! We have been doing birthday type things since Saturday when we went to the beach (again). Sunday we had all our friends over after church to Byron and Shelley's! Everyone went swimming and grilled the burgers Dan brought back from the States. Real hamburgers are a treat here, you know you have a hit when you see three burgers on one bun!
Today we had a lot of unrest (manifestations) in PAP due to the riots in the streets because of the high food prices. Dan said, no, they are celebrating my birthday! He said, it is always good to have a birthday to remember. Maddie and Parker had lots of action across the street from their school and said they could hear it all from the class room. The gas station and Epidor's are trashed she said. (They do attend a gated school with guards.) Ted and Lisa picked them up since we couldn't make it across town. Cheri Kay, the trooper, got them the rest of the way!! Thanks guys!
Dan, John and Junior went to the airport to pick up some UN guys that just came in that didn't have a ride because the airport is a red zone. They will spend the night with John and Beth.
Happy Birthday, Dan - we will have to do the "real" birthday party later in the week since it was not good for everyone to travel. Just another reason to celebrate one more day!
