Day 291: Andrew’s Birthday!

June 21, 2013 in 443 Days Around the World

If you follow me on Instagram, or saw my feed (on the right) you might have seen the video above and the picture below already. I had my camera with me the entire day, but didn’t use it once. Instead, I ordered birthday beers and a Romanian feast for lunch. When we *accidentally* got four beers at one time, Andrew decided it was time to play ‘Edward Mug-hands’ and being as it was his birthday, I used my ‘mind-tape’ and obliged. The waitstaff (at least one) was thoroughly entertained by us both when we refused to let them take away the empty mugs.

“I’m sorry, I have to keep it.” I said apologetically to the waiter. “We are playing a game…” I shrugged.

“You are losing?” He laughed.

“I guess you could say so…” I responded, looking over at Andrew’s nearly finished two and my full one.

I debated what to write for this day. A post dedicated to the one I love, or something like that. I hemmed. I hawed. I typed. I erased. I thought about rhyming, and then I changed my mind. (As Andrew likes to drop a beat and make me emcee, this would only encourage him.) Finally, I asked myself, What would Mindy do? (If you don’t know Mindy… she would have answered quite simply: write a haiku!)

 This trip without you,

Just the thought makes me so sad.

Even when you smell.
