My Fluffy Pillows

We went on a boat trip to Marietas Island for a dive. The journey on sea to the destination took approximately 2 hours.

Let's start off by saying that the transport system in Puerto Vallarta.

Along the beach front.



The rescue team was already at the scene, taming the fire.



This scene got the attention of everyone along the beach front with the cameras and cellphones in the air trying to capture the moment. Talk about a Stomp moment in Mexico!

I checked with one of the restaurant owners and he assured that this is the first time he saw something like this happen throughout his entire career life working at the coast of the beach.

Anyway, I already paid for my ride tomorrow. Heck~

They can't wait to get older when they are young

They wished they were younger when they got old(er).

Old boys Elson and Kian gaming till the wii hours of the morning.

There are slot machines in the airport.

Do you need to display a parking coupon or not when you spot a board looking like this.


Is the centre piece deliberately taken down?



Just in case you are not aware of how the board should actually look like, here's some help.


Ta dah~ A normal looking parking display board,



And better still, I saw one which looked like this at Holland Village.


Pole dancing at the parking lot anyone?





If anyone is that argumentative to not display a coupon despite it being Holland V - summon hot spot. All I can say is, you have balls.

A trip to Utah is not complete without a visit to the Great Salt Lake itself.


Salt feast~



A coastline of salt lined the lake instead of grass or sand. The air gave out a pungent aroma of salt (go figure it yourself whether or not it was a positive comment).


Salt fiesta, it's everywhere~



Anyway, here's a random photo of some abandoned i-dunno-what, which i think looks stunning in pictures. We were getting lost in Utah while taking the train and found this scene at one of the stations.


Looks like a place Scofield and gang might run into, literally. I think Patoshik (the crazy math guy) jumped from one of those canister looking things btw. *info makes sense to Prison Break fans only~




Here is it in nostalgic old fashion mode.



Utah was really empty on 4th July. I guess many were away during the long weekend holiday.


Here's how the Mac looked like on a public holiday.




Here's how empty the streets were.



Here's the Temple of Mormon aka Temple Square aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yes, I did get confused when I was searching for places to visit in Utah. Because different websites put up different pictures of various parts of the church and label them differently, I thought they were different places of worship altogether. Oh well.


Beautiful.




Christ in gold.



There is this memorial building just beside the Temple constructed with such extravagent graandness that I was gushing with disbelief.


The celing of the memorial hall.




Ornate carvings decked out the entire hallway.




Pristine details framing the windows.




Adding a velvet finish to the parapet.



Plus, there was a solo violinist playing tunes of from The Phantom of the Opera at the lobby to the less than 5 people in the building.

Ok. We went rafting without actually rafting. It was more like a cruise because the boatman did all the work while we were busy admiring the view and taking photos.


Us two and our raft~



It was a relaxing and enjoyable journey down the meandering Colorado River, with some rapids along the way.


Our slow and steady ride down the river.




Our fellow rafters following closely behind.



After which, we stopped over at a spot along the river to have lunch. It was a simple yet tasty affair. Our lunch was strapped along with us all the time on the rafts.


The place we had lunch and stop over for some pee-time (that's the pee river in the background).



Please don't ask me "How did you pee over there huh? Just like that ar?". I can't answer that question because I did not attempt the 'stunt' in the first place.


Out boatmen preparing a spread of healthy sandwiches.



The rapids were fun! Bumpy and choppy and splash-y.

We were too busy trying to hang on to the rope harness and try to stay in the boat to attempt any photo taking while we were going past the rapids. Plus, we didn't want to risk the camera getting wet. But the thing is, although we did not get a photo, we managed to film a video. Don't ask me how he did it.


Me pretending to look as though we are rafting pass the rapids just for a keepsake shot.



To end the ride, we were given freshly sliced watermelons and some soda while still on board.


The full of humongous seeds watermelon and a super unglam me.
