My Favorite Place

I found my favorite place in Singapore, the Singapore Botanical Gardens. It's huge, free and gorgeous. We walked until our feet were sore and only saw about 1/4 of it. It's a great escape in the middle of the city. The open grassy areas were filled with people having picnics and families playing games like frisbee. A ton of adorable dogs were along for the trip with their owners too. A popular activity was feeding the giant fish in the lake that flocked to people who came prepared with bread. In another section of the gardens a steep hill served as the seating for and outdoor arena used for concerts throughout the year. We'll have to come back for that sometime soon.

The best part we saw was the National Orchid Garden. I'd never seen so many beautiful orchids in one place. Adam played photographer and got some pretty nice shots.
