Botero’s bird sculpture signifies the Joy of Living and the Power of Optimism. We are by Marina Quay enjoying our last day. We head into Chinatown, I am try to convince Charles to purchase a fountain I really like, but he talks me out of it. So I settle for some fabric lanterns to remind me of this wonderful journey.
So many memories crammed into my mind’s storage section. We walk around admiring how they have “softened “ the sharp edges of these skyscrapers with sculptures and lots of greenery. A wonderful environment….bonus here it’s clean and safe. The people here take pride in their city.
A few last hours with Michael at his home base, the Ascot Raffles. We have treasured our time with him here, Singapore was never on our bucket list!
We head to the airport. We stop to see “The Jewel”in the terminal - Flowers, plants, carpeting …(just like JFK!) Long journey tonight, back across the world, Singapore to SanFrancisco, then on to BWI, arrival early morning on Halloween, we’ll see if it’s a trick or a treat.
We will be zombies after two back to back red eyes.
FYI Our last meal here is a funny one. Michael has raved about ninja chicken and samurai burger. All 3 locations have run out of the chicken so we settled for a samurai burger at Mc Donald’s- a crazy finale to our culinary adventure
Many, many thanks to those of you who hitched along for the ride, I really appreciated all the comments and likes. On the 14 1/2 hr flight to San Fran I watch Crazy Rich Asians, filmed in Singapore, filled with so many of the places and experiences I have had.-last hurrah!
I’ll end with this quote from Anthony Bourdain: “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the Unknown.” Stay tuned for the next adventure!- South America. (2024)

Have a safe trip home. You are in my prayers. Mary and I saw some beautiful fountains at Flamingo Nursery in Davie. You can go fountain shopping when you get back to Hollywood. Take care. See you both soon.
