¡feliz cumpleaños a mí!
I don't go on and on about how our neighbors are really cool, but it constantly surprises me how friendly and generous they all are, as well as the lengths to which they go to make us feel welcome here. That's significant because it seems there are so many people in our home country that are going to such great lengths to make us feel unwelcome there.
Today is my birthday, and someone posted a little sign on the utility closet door where all the important building notices go announcing it. To be completely honest, it's not just because I'm particularly popular and adored. At the most recent party for the whole building, someone had the idea to pass around a notepad where we would all write down our birthdays. I suspect that is going to be a new thing that is done for everyone, and it just so happens that I'm the first one to have a birthday. Still, the fact that anyone would go to the trouble for someone that they're connected to pretty much only by living in the same building is very nice and gives me further support for my theory that these tapatios are some of the friendliest folks you could ever hope to meet.
Of course, with the beautiful weather, delicious food, fabulous music and awesome art, it's hard to not be in a good mood.
