Happy birthday old man!

Soundtrack: Lou Reed – Just a Perfect Day

Perfect birthday gift It has been a hectic day, not that I got up early. Javier from Dakar Motos arrived saying “You want a birthday gift?” You can get your bike back today! Cumpliaño Feliz (Happy Birthday). This ment no shower, no breakfast… Sandra (Javier’s wife was on the phone and waiting for me downtown). I was out of Dakar Motos faster than you can put your underwear on!
The reason why I just felt for a quick update is because of the video my wonderful Andalucian girlfriend made while she is in Denmark.  She keeps surprising me and I admit I shed a tear when watching it. Well I cry sometimes as well that is no secret.
Might have been the best birthday gift for a long time getting the VFR back today. Could it have been better timing, I don’t think so.
Thanks to all for the greetings, family, friends and old coworkers from Thomas Cook Scandinavia. I Cake from Bea, Sandra and Javier miss you all and I think of you today while I drink a beer or two. Thanks to Javier and Sandra for helping Bea with the cake, it was what I needed. Can’t complain with the company about you guys at Dakar Motos I has been awesome being here ;oP I will see you on Saturday at Azul for an Asado (BBQ).
To my parents, I love you both very much, and I know that at times it has been hard havinga son touring around the big world, but remember one thing, I am amoung good friends out there.
Gustavo Cieslar, it was great surprise having you on Skype today. I promise to visit you before so we can get some beers.
Thanks to the VFR Club of USA for getting in touch with me, I look forward to see you guys this or maybe next year in Mexico and in the US.
Finally thanks to a girl that organized all this. I love you with all my heart, you are always supporting me and my stupid ideas. When I am weak you make me strong, just by thinking of you. I love you. You need to come and visit Sandra and Javier one day, you probably speak much better Spanish with them than I do ;oP
I thank you all for making my birthday a perfect day ;oP

    Sometimes the smallest birthday party ends up being the most overwhelming experience. Sounds like you had an excellent one, Mick! Congrats again on getting your bike back. Happy riding in butt-freezing cold Patagonia!!!

    Hey Shu
    So nice to hear from you guys, say hello to Q from me. It is a bit cold down here, but the people are warm. So helpfull, especially the YPF gas stations have been taking good care of me ;oP
    Right now I am in Puerto Piramides, very nice and beautiful landscape, not to forget the whales.
    Hope you both are doing good, look forward to see you again.
    Wish you a hell of a good adventure here and take care.

    Cheers
