Birthday Fun

Wow. What a birthday. To start the day, I had a fantastic dive at a really nice spot with beautiful coral. Then, I completed my training for Rescue Diver with underwater searches and 'unconscious diver rescue'. Later that day, one of my English students gave me a 1 ounce, solid, pure silver coin for my birthday (I wasn't allowed to refuse it: my Mexican buddy Joel said it was rude to refuse - what's a guy to do??), followed by a fantastic meal at Gustavo's. That's him in the photo with his wife Esperanza. She's promised to teach me how to make a mole sauce: I think Sunday might be the day! Thanks all for the birthday emails, and see you all end July!
