Sonya's Garden

Last weekend Matt and I celebrated our anniversary at a bed and breakfast outside of the city. The hotel was great. Our "room" was huge with three double beds, lots of antique furniture, two bathrooms with various nice touches and a separate bedroom with another bed. There were windows all around which was great because there was jungle surrounding us on several sides and flower gardens on the other. It's cooler in that area so the windows let the breeze pass through and at night we could hear various fountains running outside of our window. We really wish we had more time to spend so we could just relax in our room reading and napping.

The reason we didn't have much time at the hotel was that what we thought was an hour and a half trip to get there ended up being over three hours. We took the bus there and regretted that choice pretty quickly into the trip. It was not airconditioned so it was extremely hot and sweaty. Also it was a non-stop traffic jam. At one point we were in the same spot for at least ten minutes. That was the low point because we began to doubt that we would ever get there. Sweat was pouring off of us and just when Matt was about to explode with man-rage, the guy next to him started smoking. I didn't even notice because the diesel exhaust coming in my window masked all other smells. We eventually made it to our destination but the next day my eye that was closest to the bus window was swollen up like it had been punched because of the pollution.

My favorite thing was that at night, there were lanterns and little lights throughout the gardens. The other nice thing was that they didn't give you a choice of food at meals. They brought out multiple courses of really good food so we never had to make a decision or wonder if we should have chosen a different dish.

Those teachers at our school came out with another music video. You can check it out at the link below.
