My birthday celebration was great! I was definitely a little sad before hand wishing I could be home celebrating with my friends (actually .. I wish my friends were HERE to celebrate with me!) Turning 21 in Spain is not as big of a deal but we definitely made the best of it and I had an awesome time!
We celebrated Friday night to ring in my birthday at midnight with 10 of my friends starting at a Mexican restaurant for margaritas. I had a yard-long margarita among other things and delicious chimichangas for dinner. The servers were great with helping us celebrate and even gave us a free bottle of tequila .. ME GUSTA! Instead of bringing out birthday cake or some type of dessert, I got a pepper with a firecracker stuck in it. I was ok with it because those margaritas were definitely enough sweets for the night. Also it meant I got to carry around a giant pepper all night and have people sign it. Maybe a birthday tradition to bring to the US? After margaritas we headed out to the Barrio and made the rounds and thanks to my doting friends/roommates ended up safely in my bed around 6:00 am.

On Saturday I woke up at 12 hangover free, a true 21st birthday miracle! We spent the day relaxing and drinking home made sangria on the beach ... this is the life :)

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and made my birthday so fun!!! Cant wait to celebrate more with everyone in the states!
I'm so glad you had a great birthday. I was celebrating with you in spirit! Btw that margarita looks like it could be as tall as you. But it looked ceramic delicious!!! So jealous. I seriously think the firecracker in the pepper should be a new birthday celebration back here in the states lol. I hope you're having an amazing week and I'm thinking about you always. Lots of love!!!!
