Second Singapore Trip!

Salma and I stopped through Singapore again for a couple of days, on our way back to the US. Salma loved the water play area at the science museum, and we had a great time with Hnin Oo Wai on Sentosa Island. They have a fabulous aquarium there with a moving sidewalk that goes through the fish tank. And we watched a great dolphin show. But Salma's favorite part was definitely playing on the beach!

Mendhi for the trip

Urmi is putting mendhi (henna) on me, for the trip home.
