There’s nothing like a cake decorated with Arabic calligraphy.

Happy Birthday! Today Marthame turned 33. His first order of business on his birthday was to accompany our guest back to Jalame, so he could return to Nazareth. In the meantime, Elizabeth went to school to tie up loose ends and help with exams.

In the afternoon, we kept the computer tuned to the internet live feed of ZRadio in Orlando, on which Marthame's sister Alecia made a birthday dedication. Happy Birthday indeed.
