Day 18 Monday June 14th 2010

Well it's official, I turned 22yrs. old today! It's been a good birthday but it's just not the same when I'm away from my family... Anyway, after getting ready this morning I went to city fitness to work out for a little bit (Thad if you're reading this I want to say that although I'm not working quite as hard as when you push me, I'm trying to keep up a good routine)! After I was through at the gym, I went home to grab my stuff that I would need at the beach. That's right I had my birthday party at the beach this year! (Rachel I know you're jealous!) So I biked over to Carl & Becky's apartment where everyone met up to drive over to the beach. One of the young adult's parents have a beach house outside of Riga and that is where we had my birthday. We had a great time playing croquet, singing, eating, laughing, and goofing off. I got two really thoughtful presents, one is the T-Shirt that I'm wearing in the photo above (from the Martisons family), and the other is a picture frame with 3 pictures of me playing music here in Riga (from Ieva). After we were through at the beach it was time for me bike back home. An interesting note is that there was still enough daylight at 10:30 pm for me to bike back over to my apartment where I arrived just before 11:00!
