Here are some pictures from my birthday dinner last night. We went to Le Chalet, which is the closest Goma comes to a nice restaurant. The food was excellent - I had pizza! - and the company was even better. Ester and my friend Anna insisted that they needed to sing happy birthday, so they summoned the poor waiter and told him that we had to have a dessert with a candle in it. They didn't have cake, or crepes, but finally came up with some passion fruit sorbet and surrounded it with candles. I have not

laughed that hard in a long time.
Before leaving, we tried to get the waiter to take a picture, but he didn't know how to use a camera, so he found someone else. Here's the picture - I love that Mr. Florida and Junior's heads are cut off, so to speak. We are, left to right, Mr. Florida, C, E, Anna, Texas in Africa, and Junior. All in all a very fun way to celebrate the day.
