refreshed

maldives from a sea plane :)


our beach


nothing cures nausea and stress like a vacation at the maldives! after months of throwing up and being miserable, I feel pretty much functional again. Sadly I still don't enjoy food quite as much as I used to, and I keep waiting for my weird craving. But I definitely did not lose my love for fruit. 9 days of breakfast buffets and I stuffed myself full of fruit. Probably not the best bang for buck, but my belly was happy!


oh and i still like eggs too.


ahhhh! i fell in love with mangosteen when my parents first took us to Vietnam when we were kids. they had some in the bowls, but told me it wasn't part of the buffet. what a tease! i snuck some anyway and it was fantastic as i remembered.


rambutans! we had these in vietnam too. they taste like a cousin of longan and lychee, but they're a little annoying to eat cuz the shell gets stuck to the meat. am i peeling it wrong?


sweet longans. so happy.


tiny maldivian mangos! i've never seen mangos so small and cute that tasted so sweet.


bye bye maldives. i hope global warming doesn't swallow you up.

  1. isn't it dangerous to steal the display fruits to eat??? how did you know the mangosteen was real and not just plastic?!?

    looks delicious though! so much fresh fruit... that's the best part of going to asia!!
