Friday night I had the honor of celebrating a staff member's birthday around a campfire, which felt wonderful in the not-quite-spring night air here in La Paz. This is a picture of the birthday dude playing Chubby Bunny. He won with a whopping twelve marshmallows. It was disgusting. Before I was grossed out by the game, however, we made yummy s'mores, looked at the stars, and discussed how Australia is not the appropriate name of the continent. My New Zealand friends corrected me: It is Oceania, or more even more correct, Australasia. Get it right, U.S. school textbooks.
I also hung out with some lovely ladies whose hearts and lives all encourage me so much. Here is my sweet roommate Sarah, who is the other one that is new to teaching, Bolivia, and Spanish like me.

Tomorrow happens to be Sarah's birthday! Unfortunately, especially for her, we don't get the day off (Labor Day is a U.S. holiday, as I had to remind myself) but we are celebrating her at dinner tomorrow night. Happy 21st, Sarah! I hope that you feel loved and appreciated for the awesome person you are! I'm thankful you're in my life!
