Tela

On July 22nd, 2007 I turned 23 years old and I did it in the beach town of Tela. Six other volunteers met me up there and we stayed in a crappy hotel called Brisas del Mar (which actually had a breeze!). We basically just spent the day hanging out on the beach in the shade under the palm trees and eating mangos and coconut bread (which they sell all along the beach).

Yes, we are wearing matching dresses.

Although my birthday was actually on Sunday, some type of miscommunication happened and Nineth, my counterpart, thought my birthday was on Tuesday, so I got a cake on Tuesday.
