What a wonderful anniversary!

This morning, during our gathering at the Spanish school, we were asked in Spanish how we were feeling this morning (practicing responding to questions, etc). I mentioned that I was pretty happy, considering it was our anniversary. People clapped, and we moved on to the next person. Never really thought much of it.

Then our teacher 'forgot' about class-break (10:50-11:00).
(Oh well. We were having fun, right?)

Then, when we were dismissed, we found this:


With the other students, teachers, and cooks circled around it.


Like a birthday, it's customary to sing Happy Birthday (except in reference to the birth day of our union, of course) on an anniversary.
And, like a birthday, we were to blow out the candles





But, like a wedding, we had to cut the cake, hand-in-hand.




And if that wasn't enough, Micheal, an American student, played us a song on his harmonica. Although slightly different to us, this enthralled the Costa Ricans, as they have never heard the harmonica played live before.


The whole thing was pretty special. And completely melted my heart.

How amazingly nice was that, though!?!?! For them to get a cake and celebrate our anniverary with us! Now that made our day super extra special!
