Feliz Cumpleanos

No one can tell me why whilst feliz cumpleaños is happy birthday, the song in Spanish goes cumpleaños feliz...

Yesterday was my birthday - I am now a ripe old 23. Its custom here to celebrate the night before your birthday so that when midnight hits the fiesta starts (and doesn´t stop for the whole 24 hours!)

My wonderful friends here in Cusco took me out dancing all night and at 6am we went up the mountain to enjoy a frosty sunrise. At 7.30am I fell into bed and awoke at 11 to find some alpaca wool leg warmers and earrings, gifts from Emily. Perfect!

Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes. I wonder where I will be this time next year....
