HOME AGAIN

http://joliejam.blogspot.com/2011/11/few-photos-more.html

a long, 24 hours, journey but no complaints. The time in Singapore was so wonderful. Thank you again Jolie for everything, everyone.

The above link is a quick and easy way for me to show you blog readers what a happy time I had.

I will post more pics from the trip but wanted to get this in now so, as T. thaws his turkey and Eddie and I prepare the table for a Thanksgiving dinner with good friends, I can wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.

Note: lots of early snow outside the window.

AND NOW FOR....

....the super long journey home.
It has been such a wonderful time and I am intensely grateful.
I will post again from home and will include the most recent pictures from here, especially from the spectacular Marina Bay Sands, the very bizarre looking set of buildings seen below.

GROWN UP TIME TOGETHER

Such a good time: a boat ride on the river, one that gave me a super view of the Marina Bay Building, the most bizarre building in the world - my opinion but the fact is it is the most costly to build building in the world, then on to an Asian cultural museum. I have not retained the proper name of the museum but it was really exquisite and informative and I look forward to a return visit someday. After these two treats a fine lunch at an excellent Vietnamese restaurant.

Singapore Science Museum

The photo above is in the SOUND EXHIBIT. The twins took to the manufacturing of decibels like the naturals that they are.

HOW IT WORKS!

YOU'VE ALWAYS WONDERED, YES?

Singapore Science Museum

A seriously child-centric center. Look closely, the whole family is in there.

THE FAMOUS BENGAL TIGER OF SINGAPORE

BOLLYWOOD ORGANIC FARM

After the wetland walk we drove down the road a bit to the Bollywood Organic Farm for lunch. The meals served there are Indian, all grown on site ( including the chicken). Some of the food - tapioca chips for example - was very exotic to me. most of it was very spicy and made me think instantly of Bhutanese food. Understandable since Bhutan borders India on the southern end. The restauratnt was very crowded and, despite some serious heat, very jolly. i enjoyed it quite a lot.

WALKING ON THE WILDSIDE

An outing to a jungly wetland where one might step on a very large lizard and fortunately six did not or see a myriad of water fowl both known and unknown. We were never able to identify the large white bird above. There were only two that we could see and even a replica of the bird in the small adjacent museum was not named.

They first picture, by the way, was intended as a movie, whole family walking and singing past. Surely pilot error but one the pilot does not claim easily. i KNOW i had it on REC!

THANK YOU LITTLE CANON
