Singapore

 I love this juxtaposition, old against new, which seems like Singapore’s thing. 

On the road again

After an extremely lovely couple of months Stateside soaking up time with family and friends, I’m on my way to my second fellowship destination. But first: I’m happy to be riding out the jet lag of flying to Asia with a few days in Singapore. New territory for me, and a very calm, easy, clean, friendly, soft landing. I have a cozy bed at a hostel in Chinatown, and when I’m not sleeping off my stupor I’ll be strolling the streets of this city/state/nation, filled with the happy buzz of yet another new adventure. 

Must mention: they have fresh O..J. vending machines here, people. Like the machine is filled with oranges and you put in your money and the machine squeezes the oranges for you. Wonders never cease. I’ll report back. For now:

Tahiti then home…

 It was a beautiful return to (and final day in Tahiti). My parents have made it to their 50th anniversary! Nice work, you crazy kids. And what a celebration it has been in this gorgeous part of the world. 

I’ll be sticking around the good ‘ole USofA this spring and therefore taking a break from posting here until I leave for the second leg of my travel fellowship in late May. Till then…

Mo’orea

 Of all the stops we made on this trip, I think this is the island I’d most like to return to for further exploration…
