Jorge, like me, dreads his birthday. Monday was his birthday and in the morning I said, "A little birdie told me it was your birthday!!" He decided it was a good idea to celebrate that evening. He went with pizza and wine. While at work, I watched over Alonso while Nona made a birthday cake. The first one didn't turn out so well... so in the afternoon she made a second birthday cake. The first one I tried to make her feel better saying it wasn't that bad, and it wasn't until she tried to take it out of the pan and it split in half. Never a dull moment here at work!!
That day we were quite busy at work both in the morning and the afternoon. I ended up staying open past 8, while they set up outside and started drinking wine. Both Sabina's came and we had a wonderful time sitting outside chatting. I normally do not like red wine, however this boxed red wine was the best!! It tasted marvelous and may have even convinced me to purchase a box!!
A character named Pino (an Italian now tico) joined us as well. There is not a harder accent to follow than an Italian gone Spanish, I literally never know what they are saying. Much laughter and joy throughout the night. All in all a wonderful day to celebrate a birthday.
For Jorge's birthday I bought him a large Imperial (the most popular beer in Costa Rica). It seemed to everydayish to buy him a regular can, so I went with the big glass bottle. He was distressed that I bought him a present but when he saw that it was a beer was delighted!! Yay since I have no money to buy anything else!
The next morning the first thing Jorge asked me was if I had a headache. When I said no, he seemed a little disappointed realizing that he may be the only one that ended up with a headache. I found it hilarious and meant that the celebration had ended well! There was much gossip shared, some more shocking than others. All in all very entertaining.
