My First Birthday in Ecuador

Didn't you know? April 17th is the Best Day of The Year! 

It's my Birthday!

Thanks to Kendall for making Cheese, Mushroom and Chard Enchiladas

Everyone helped prepare the enchiladas, salads, homemade salsas and churros for dessert:
Alex and Kendall (Texas), Elias (Washington), Rachel (California), and Regina (North Carolina)

Thanks to all the Imbabura-area Peace Corps Volunteers
who helped make my birthday very special.

And thanks to Lucy, my host parent, who made me a beautiful cake:
Chocolate with blackberry filling, and vanilla chantilly frosting.
We topped it with almond ice cream.  Yummy!
