im finally 20 🌚🌚🌚

Went to Bahamas for my birthday trip. I’m really grateful for the relaxing experience I got. [ID: An animated drawing of a turtle wearing a party hat. It looks at a tiramisu cake with a birthday candle on it. Bahama mama drink sitting behind the birthday cake at a diagonal position. The turtle is green with a true blue eye color and pink colored lips. The turtle is wearing a dark purple party hat on its head with metallic gold polka dots and a metallic gold pom-pom on top of the hat. The turtle is smiling at the cake while its right arm reaches towards the cake. The tiramisu cake and tiramisu powder surrounding it sit on a white dish. The candle is true blue and is being lighted up. The color of the Bahama mama drink is a mix of red and pink. A clear plastic straw sits in the drink. Five presents sit on the left side of the turtle. Three balloons float on the left side of the turtle on top of the gifts with the first and third balloons shaped like hearts. Four other balloons float on the right side of the turtle with the last balloon shaped like a heart. Seashells scatter all over the sand at the beach and surround the turtle with its birthday cake, gifts, and balloons. Islands from both sides of the picture sit at a far distance from the turtle on the blue ocean. The sunset starts from royal blue on top, salmon pink, sunshine yellow, and scarlet red on the bottom. Seashells, balloons, and gifts are in different colors.] #Bahamas2k21 #🇧🇸 #CaribbeanIsland #Atlantishotel #21yearsold #August17 #Relaxingexperience #Beachscenery #Beachartworks #Birthdaygifts #Birthdaycake #Birthdaycelebration #Animateddrawing #Illustrations #Strokesofthepaintbrush #Shefalisahay (at Atlantis Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2moLrJXE5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sub-Saharan Africa 60 years ago today: French Withdrawal from Equatorial Africa (17 August 1960) https://buff.ly/3awJ2De August 1960 was the high point in the Year of Africa, with nine nations gaining independence from France between the 1st and 17th of that month. Most notable was the former French Equatorial Africa, where France withdrew from Chad, Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, and Gabon in the space of a week. #1960 #1960s #20thcentury #africa #africanhistory #august #august17 #decolonization #cartographer #centralafricanrepublic #chad #congo #francophone #gabon #historic #historicalmaps #historie #historybuff #historylesson #frenchempire #historyschool #instahistory #ivorycoast #imperialism #maps #modernhistory #colonialism #subsaharanafrica #teachinghistory #thisdayinhistory (at Brazzaville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD-8Hl2gcUb/?igshid=ey2cqot6xxc7
