So it's my mom's birthday today. HOORAH! I remember when I told her I'd be leaving for Africa, the first thing she said was, "But... you won't be here for my birthday!". Which is actually pretty funny if you know her because she doesn't care about her birthday at all. My mom is a wonderful wonderful person, she's ridiculously funny, and is by far my favorite person in the whole wide world (don't tell my dad). I took some pictures to celebrate her birthday-- unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to plan ahead and I was working a 12 hour shift in the galley, so all you get is galley pictures where we're all sweaty and gross. YAY!!
(The last one is "Happy birthday" in Ewe, the one of the tribal languages spoken in southern Togo).
Rita, one of the day volunteers that works with me in the galley, wanted to send my mom a kiss. Obviously, Stephen did not. And yes, I am aware that I look super Asian in all the photos (I say this like I don't look Asian in all my photos, but you get my drift). In any case, happy birthday 엄마, 사랑해!!
