"You can learn a lot of things from the flowers..."

Talk about Sunday Funday! Today was such an awesome day - we did the Gardens by the Bay and the River Safari.  We saw everything from waterfalls, to roses, to Supertrees, to PANDAS! It was incredible... A few pictures to make you jealous:

Katie, Elise and I ventured out this morning at about 9am for the Gardens.  We made it to Marina Bay Sands after about an hour (we had some early morning struggles on the train), got the most expensive cup of coffee we could find (unintentionally, mind you), ate some chicken rice at the mall, and then finally made it!! The Gardens were stunningly beautiful, and we were able to make it into both observatories (at a local resident/student rate, too!)

 Panorama - Hotel/Casino, Singapore Flyer, and Gardens by the Bay!

After the Gardens, we had lunch at Baja Fresh (who would've thought?!) and took a cab to meet Katherine at the River Safari!! The boat tour was unfortunately sold out, but that didn't stop us from seeing the other 85% of the park - including the pandas, Jai Jai and Kai Kai :) It was a great afternoon! 

 Red Panda!

Finally, we made our way back home, split up for dinner, and are now all finishing up lesson plans to go back to work tomorrow!! This week includes: teaching, exploring other campuses, taking the Sec 2's on a camping trip, and going to BALI!!!! 5 more days, can't wait! 12 more days til I'm back home! Time flies when you're having fun!
