Gracefully 30, Forever 21

Coco´s birthday was a few days ago and he turned 30, even though he doesn´t look a day over 21. This was the first time since we had met each other that we would actually be together on his birthday. The other two birthdays occured while I was in California and he was in Peru. So I was thinking of a big blowout party to really bring in year 30 with a bang. But hubby was thinking the opposite, just me and him celebrating his graceful transition out of his twenties. Okay baby! I understand. No, party, just me and you. His special day included homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, a painting for his office made by me, some swimming and relaxing by the pool, some Mexican food for lunch (enchiladas), Mango Dacquiris, a trip out to our favorite Italian restaraunt for dinner, and lots of phone calls and messages from loved ones. We had a great day.

A note about our favorite Italian restaraunt, it´s beautiful and delicious. Its always dimly lit and everything inside is made from rustic wood and bricks. I think it probably has the best ambiance of any restaraunt in Iquitos. Plus, it´s one of the few choices we have when we don´t want to eat regional food. And they have these huge pizza ovens that I can´t get over. Ummmm I want another delicious calzone right now.

And.....Coco´s arm is healing quite nicely. He´s in physical therapy and should be flying be next month. We´re so thankful for that! I hope you´re all doing well.
