Mark came into town on my birthday. On the morning of the 19th we got up, made breakfast burritos (Mmmmm!), went and made a cheesecake (from a Pilsbury box), and went to the pool. My birthday was a surprisingly sunny day so the water felt so good and it didn't even rain. At the pool some other peace corps people meet us for a beer and slish splashed in the pool with us.

Around 5:30 Mark and I started to clean up because we wanted to go and watch the sun set at the Italian restaurant right on the river. Because it was a picture perfect day, the sunset was incredible but too short.

And then, there was no gas for the restaurant to cook so all they could make was salads. I didn't want salad so the two of us went over to the "Shack" a local "upscale" malien restaurant that i love and had a nice dinner there and taxied back home and ate the cheesecake we had prepared that morning.
Overall it was an amazing birthday... but it got better (please read Flight over Segou)
