Yesterday was my birthday, and what a fun day!
It started at midnight when I was skyping my Mom & she was the first to wish me a happy birthday! Then in the morning after a few short hours of sleep, I discovered 2 giant cookies on the table with a note from Rachel saying “Happy Birthday.” At school, Katie put up a sign on my door:
During orchestra, Katie and Suzanne burst into the room as we were about to sight-read a piece. They sang “Happy Birthday” and gave me the most amazing tasting mocha-cake! I shared it with all the students I saw.
God blessed me with amazing weather for my birthday. In the afternoon I walked off some of my would-be hyperness. It was gorgeous fall weather!!!
At 4:00, the entire school piled into 5 buses and went to Basel for Herbstmesse (Fall Fair).
I wandered around with Katie, Heather, and Brittany.
We went on the ferris wheel and got a good view of Basel at twilight.
There was a random gnome in a kids’ swan ride. Rather entertaining! It was slightly less creepy than the broken gnome I had found earlier on my walk!
There was good food all around – I got a Starbucks Iced Chai Tea Latte, Currywurst for dinner, and cinnamon-sugar-roasted almonds.
We finished off the night with bumper cars.
