This pool might make me more motivated to get some swim workouts in during the week… It sits atop the new Marina Bay Sands Resort in Singapore. Pretty incredible! I wonder what the fine is if you throw your chewing gum down from up there?

We quickly started to wonder what the catch was so when we saw this sign only a few hundred yards from our wonderful campsite it started to make a bit more sense.

Anyway, despite being decorated in foil wallpaper stolen from 1974 (and matching my family home before my parents remodeled it), complete with bright yellow sink and counters, it was a comfortable place to stay.

A stop on the road trip in Bend, Oregon.

Today is a short post since we were gone all weekend and arrived home past 7pm last night. We have photos to download, clothes to launder, emails to read and respond to and bags to unpack. Stay tuned for an update on Belén’s first road trip, some photos of Bend/Sun River, Oregon and the results of Andy’s half marathon.

And last but not least…check out Belén’s new purse. She loves to take off her shoe and put it inside and then remove it and drop the shoe on the ground. She finds this sequence of events riveting.

Andy and I took to spending the remainder of the evening on our hotel balcony which overlooked the quiet side of the hotel, some palm trees as well as caged parrots and tigers. We spent the time on our balcony talking, relaxing and appreciating some of the fine, beer, wine and tequila that Mexico has to offer (usually not all three in the same night.) We also quickly discovered the local cigar shop which sold both Mexican and Cuban cigars.

The doctor today ended up spending almost an entire HOUR with us. And I was finally the one that was like, “Okay, great, thank you so much. We gotta go and we hope we don’t have to see you again.”

The best part of sand….you never know what you are going to find when you go digging. This quickly made Andy and me wish she had not discovered the wonders of sand since we had to be on our toes every second we were on the beach. If we were not, after a few minutes of beachcombing, Belén would inevitably get the following look on her face.

Which do you suppose float away first?
