You bet we picked up more than we need for our cars back home. Even some extras (just in case).

Utterly convinced that just because it's handmade and unique, I should own one. So here I sit, the proud of owner of one of these bracelets. We even got to chat with the owner herself who sat adjusting my bracelet for me while she told us how much she loved Indonesia and wanted to come back. All that while, she thought I was from Indonesia. I just didn't feel like confusing her even more with geography stuff that I can't even wrap my head around.

And surprise, surprise. My compulsory finds. We visited the secondhand book stall and I found myself joining forces with a lovely lady trying to help me figure out which books are good reads. She looked like she knew exactly what she was talking about so when she insisted that these would guarantee me a good time, I was sold.

Taking these shots were deceivingly difficult. The railing look quite normal in height but standing at merely 5", you bet I was on my tiptoes and was yet again, finding ways to get over the railings. But these shots had to be taken. This scenery is not to be missed!

Tomorrow should be an interesting day. Keep your eyes peeled!

Shops up at Montville sell things that are too pretty and too cute for you to even contain yourself.

Every year we come up to Montville, I see cute dogs and I gawk at them just wishing I could pet them, carry them, pick them up and maybe run away with them. But when their owners kindly ask me if I wanted to pet them, I have to say "no, that's okay. Thank you" *sobs for 5 minutes*

"Hey guys, do you think this will break if I sit on it?"

Ah, this sculpture thing my parents insist they take a picture with every year we visit. And they insisted I need to take a picture too, So here's me trying to figure out in I could climb the thing without breaking it and probably getting fined. I ended up not climbing it because I didn't want to topple over or break anything (my bones).

We also visited the Strawberry fields hoping to go strawberry picking but the place wasn't opened for picking yet but we were allowed to take a stroll. So here's a picture of the strawberry field, without me in it, picking strawberries.. just like I should have been.

The cleanliness of this playground almost made me want to step out and walk in the heat.. Almost.

The temperature hasn't drop that much despite it being winter. The sun still shines but the cool breeze calms it. The lack of humidity here is a good change from the crazy heat back home. Strolls in parks sound much better here. Back home, I didn't even want to cross the campus' parking lot in fears of getting drenched in my own sweat.

There was Day 1! 

Hope everyone had a cheerful day!
