Cold Birthday

Last Wednesday I celebrated my 23rd birthday. It was a very special one for many reasons: I was surrounded by my closest friends, received some very creative and intriguing gifts, and it all happen in the midst of one of the coldest days of the winter. While I was enjoying good sushi, pad-thai, and wine next to the fire in my living room, the temperature outside reached - 27 C!

Many things to remember! I start this new year with great hopes and expectations, including spending my next birthday in a warmer climate.

Thanks to all my friends for their effort to make my day a very special one, I love you all. And, in addition, thanks to NOAA for providing me with weather information to catalogue this birthday as the coldest one ever!
