Tomorrow, the 4th of March will be my 26th birthday. It will be my first birthday away from home. It’s so strange to think I’ll only start celebrating the day here in the US, and all my friends and family will already be half way through the day in South Africa.
So this is what iaan and have planned for the day:
1. Have huge American pancakes for breakfast.
2. Do an uptown tour.
3. Hang out in Soho for the afternoon. See some arty spots and take some photos with my new Lomography camera.
Thank you to everyone for your bf messages and emails, I already started receiving some this afternoon. I really appreciate it!
I also want to thank my mom for organizing an amazing surprise birthday party/lunch the week before we left for the States. My mom IS the best chef I’ve ever come across. And I eat great food every weekend, but seriously, no one gets close to my mom’s cooking. Look at what she wiped up for my surprise birthday party. Now that’s what you call good food…and how cool was my cake?
I hope you enjoy the day with me! xox
Special thanks to Adri for some super cool shots!
