I had wonderful time celebrating on the day(s). First we headed to the library to use the internet and be in touch with family. This amazing photo came in from Jenny. Imagine all those snowflakes organizing to wish me a “Happy Birthday!”
Then we visited the South Australia Museum which is a pretty overwhelming place. There are tons of dead animals, but plenty of artifacts from Aboriginal and Pacific Islander groups. I was especially interested in a display about three female explorers and anthropologists who were active in Papua New Guinea in the early 1900s.
After the museum Mike treated me to a birthday lunch of Mexican food. The tacos were delicious and the nachos weren’t bad either. My birthday cake this year was much better than just plain ol’ cake. It was a banana, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream crepe, all wrapped up like a cone. Pretty delicious.
Since it was a special occasion, we skipped camping and checked into a hostel for the night. Isn’t it funny that at this point staying in budget accommodation feels like a splurge? (Oh long term travel in one of the most expensive countries in the world…)
We finished the night with drinks in the park and made a friend there too. This owl was the third attendee at my birthday party!
The next day more birthday wishes came in and Mike even treated me to breakfast. By the end of the day I had to admit, no matter how you sliced it, my birthday was over.
It was a great day(s) but I don’t feel any older.

Happy birthday once again! It really sounds like you (or perhaps we should say, Mike!) made it an excellent one!
Happy birthday! I never feel like I’m getting older on my birthdays either, but every now and then I have a moment where I look around me and realize that I am indeed growing up. I’ll never grow up completely though!
Happy belated birthday!! Looks like you had a great day(s)!!

Happy birthday!! I totally sent the owl to you to say hello
I suspected as much!
Thank you! I certainly did!
I know! I never feel old until I meet someone younger… 😉
He’s pretty good at making me feel special!
Happy Birthday!!!!
