From the Hip Friday

Bench and balloon.

I’m still working on settling in, sleeping at appropriate hours, and keeping track of the days. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to ask the question, “What day is it?” However, I’m pretty sure today is Friday…

Today’s photo from the hip is by Magalie. She took this beautiful image at the Cismigiu Gardens in Bucharest, Romania. I love how at least 3 generations are represented in this picture. And how that carrousel horse balloon is perfectly detailed.

Thanks, Magalie!

And don’t forget about the giveaway!!!

Masalama / The Big 500 / Giveaway!

Trifecta of sorts.So this post is kind of big. Not only am I down to my very last few hours in Abu Dhabi, it’s also my 500th post. Sounds like a great time for a giveaway to me!

It’s definitely a funny feeling saying goodbye to the city and country that’s been my home for the past 3 years, not to mention my friends that became my overseas family. I plan to write more about my departure, just at a later date. It’s all a little too messy at the moment.

So let’s talk about that giveaway!

In keeping with the tote bag theme of my last two giveaways, I picked up this pretty little thing while in Luang Prabang. It features the Laotian alphabet and would be perfect for the farmer’s market, library books, or just everyday. As much as I wanted to keep it for myself, I thought it would be the perfect item to pass along to you!

All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me about a time you said goodbye. It would also be really nice if you followed me too.

Contest ends at noon June 11th, Pacific Standard Time, open to all.

Now it’s just 3 flights and approximately 36 hours of travel time and I’ll be home!

From the Hip Friday

Temple grounds.

Today’s photo from the hip is from Sri Lanka. We stopped at a temple on our way to Unawatuna and I really wanted to capture the boys playing in the courtyard. I’m sure you won’t have any problem believing that I didn’t use the viewfinder seeing as it’s crooked!

 

Today’s post is #499… so you better believe a giveaway is coming up for the big 5-0-0!
