A day at the beach

This morning we headed to Sentosa - which is the "resort" recreation island of Singapore. We took a tram there and arrived about 10:30. As usual, not much was open. (Even the malls don't get going here until around 11 or 11:30am. But we walked around and also had a cool drink as we sat near the beach. The beach at Sentosa actually looks out on the port area. Did you know that Singapore is the largest port in the world?

We went to a 4D movie that was about pirates and pretty cute. We also ate at Subway.

But then we went back to the beach, rented me a chair, and found our little "corner" of the beach. Chelsea and Ross "baked" in the sun. I wrote a long letter to Becky B. And Rick studied the map of Sentosa and other things.

We stayed all afternoon and just relaxed.

A friend of Ross's came over and the two of them decided to stroll on down to the other end of the beach. Chels, Rick and I took the tram back to Vivo City Mall - the largest mall in Singapore and my favorite. Chelsea had fresh pineapple (the best she ever tasted she said). She also tried Roti Prata (which is a type of bread with curry sauce or as she had hers - filled with bananas.

We took the bus home and Chelsea and I just talked and talked and talked. It was great.

What a wonderful day!
