So less than a week after getting here we celebrated my birthday. It was different than any other birthday I've had. There were no BBQ's and no fireworks :(. We still managed to have fun though. We went shopping in downtown La Paz and found some fun things. I got a couple of cool rugs! We ate out for lunch and dinner. I was a little nervous about the place for lunch, because it is easy to get sick here eating out and we hadn't heard if this place was trusted or not, but we all came out okay. Max made a cute little friend that he played cars with while we waited for our taxi. Later that night we went out to eat with a friend and then ate some cake that Tim and the kids made for me. Then I crawled into bed at 8:00 feeling sick as a dog. I had woke up that morning with a sore throat and by nighttime I had chills, my neck was swollen and I just felt yucky! Although we had a fun day it didn't really feel like my birthday.
