So it wasn't Tokyo....

But is was a good day. We had wonderful weather Saturday and Sunday! On Curacao it rained more than here.
Saturday we met up with friends and had some drinks in the city and that turned into dinner at their BEAUTIFUL home. The fluffy cat even let me pet her (the more you want to, the less they allow you to touch them) :o)





At midnight I was called by my family at home, which I miss so much it hurts at times. In the morning I woke up to a decorated house with balloonshaped garlands. So I baked my famous chocolate cake and open my presents. I got this beautiful rock from Joris, with a loupe to study it. H&M giftcards and some amazing jewelry from family and friends. But the best present was my 'kos-di-plak', which I got just in time to stick the last part on my birthday. In my family it is a tradition to have a countdown calender, usually a puzzle that fits together nicely, with an extra nice final piece to tack on your birthday. My mom had made us an amazing one for the wedding as well.
In the afternoon we went out to find me some animals, in this case ducks. The look on my face on the picture below is me telling Joris : these ducks don't work, let's go find new ones.
The geese did not like my bread.

But these ones did, so we fed the duckos until Kwek arrived. We had some cake and drinks, later on some soup and famous local sausagebreads and turned in early for the new week.
