Usually on my birthday I am madly studying for finals (or taking a final). One year I actually had both a statistics final and a neuropathophysiology final on my birthday. Then I usually have a joint birthday with two of my brothers, Paul and Peter, who have birthdays very close to mine. However, this year I got to spend my birthday in an IDP camp in Africa! It was so cool. We didn't exactly have cake and ice cream. There wasn't even a place to buy toilet paper or bottled water in the camp, but Logan and Alex wanted to celebrate. We continued the birthday tradition of sugar consumption and tooth day by buying soda and biscuits. It was really nice. My first birthday in Africa! I hope it is the first of many!
Birthday sodas! I am sorry this picture is slightly blurry. It was taken by a slightly drunk man who had very little previous experience with a camera.
Birthday Cake substitute. It is a "Biscuit." The are sort-of like the teething biscuits 6 month-olds chew on back in North America. They are quite good.

It's great to hear from you again! We've missed you, two weeks is a long time with no word. I'm relieved to see you looking so good, you must be feeling okay. A belated Happy Birthday to you! As always, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
