I never would
have thought, or even believed, I would someday be spending my birthday in a
foreign country. It’s pretty cool – I
have to say. Daniel made breakfast this
morning and then we went into town to find some wifi so I could chat with the
family. I don’t need presents, I just
need to hear from the family. I was able
to FaceTime with all of our children and their families and I was able to talk
on the phone to my parents and Daniel’s mom.
MagicJack is a wonderful thing, just saying.
After that, we
had lunch in town and then as we were leaving in the afternoon heading back to
the boat, we decided to check in with the local officials to see how we go
about getting our departure papers (despacho).
Well, again, they don’t speak English and we speak little Spanish so it
took about 30 minutes and a lot of guessing at each other words but we were
finally given our despacho – but then we had to go through immigration again,
to check out with them. They opened their
doors, filled out some more papers and then told us our passports would get
stamped when we left from the last city in the Dominican Republic we plan to
visit, which will be Samana. So, okay,
we take our despacho and head back to C-Time.
C-Time and
some wonderful german chocolate cake!
You see, german chocolate is my absolute favorite and as I was walking
around this morning, pouting because I wasn’t getting my cake this year, I turn
around and Daniel is stirring and mixing…I peek over his shoulders and see a
german chocolate cake mix! The wonderful
man has been hiding the cake mix (and icing) somewhere on this boat for just
this day. Married almost 32 years and he
still surprises me. Can’t wait to see
what he has up his sleeves for our wedding anniversary in 2 weeks, he mumbled
something about taking me on a trip to the Spanish Virgin Islands J.
