Today is my birthday and I'm 23. It's not a particularly landmark birthday but it has been fun so far!
Yesterday me and Eli went out with a bunch of people to Lapa and I convinced them to go to the salsa club and of course I had a blast and I think everyone else did too, even Eli, who was dancing up a storm. It was great, except for the fact that I've come to the conclusion something is really wrong with my eyes because I have to keep throwing out my contacts--last night I had to throw one out while we were out because it was so bad. Hence I will probably have to have another fun experience with the Brazilian medical system this week.
Today I have a date for my birthday present, so I have to go make sure that's happening!
happy Birthday. Welcome to Rio. I read a bit of your blog. I hope things continue to go well. I have 3 US grad children who will be here at Christmas. They have spent considerable time here. We will be having a New Years Eve party up here at the top of Alto Leblon at the top of a very tall building. Want to come? Lots of Americans and oil-type people.

Happy Birthday Rachel! Can I only send your present via visitors in January? Is there an easier email method? Can you receive electronic gift cards?
Enjoy your day. Even without a date, life is good at twenty-three.
I think of Dolly Parton's comment that if she is saggin, baggin, or draggin, she was determined to get tucked, plucked or sucked.

A very happy birthday from everyone at the Glickhouse/Zachem house. We hope you are enjoying your special day to the fullest and that you will get lots of use from the birthday and Chanukah gifts we sent you.
