As you know, I was in Fiji for work, so I didn't get to have all the fun in the sun that I would want, but there were a few highlights:
I read 3.5 books. Nothing exciting, as I had to borrow from the hotel library.
Went to a private island for the day - AMAZING! (No, this is not a postcard - I actually took this photo.)
I was able to go on a really cool hike to a water fall. The hike was beautiful, but a little easy for me. Definitely better than sitting in the hotel lobby though!
A little history: Over 40% of the population of Fiji are Indians. We had a "Bollywood" party and I got to wear a Sari for the first time. Of course, I think it makes me look fat!
I had SERIOUSLY curly hair in Fiji. So frizzed out that I had to buy a headband and wear it EVERYDAY. There was no cure for the frizz - none at all!
Not sure if you remember my obsession with taking pictures of graveyards. Well, I wasn't able to get any in Fiji - although they have really cool ones. But I channeled my obsession into taking pictures of flowers. Sometimes I think I am an 80 yr old grandma stuck in a 30-something year old body. I honestly have about 100 pictures of flowers in my camera.
By the way - ran with Big G this AM:

i think you look really cute in a sari... and with curly hair too!
Loved the pics and I agree with eurydice, you do look nice in a sari; not fat at all!
Your run times are inspiring to me. I just ran a 5K in 31:58 and am training to get it under 30 minutes for my next race in April.
Love the pictures, especially the flowers!
You look great in the sari..very pretty colors. Such a picture-perfect place, sounds like it was an awesome time even if it was work-related. I wish my job let me travel now and then!
Scuse me for saying so, but you're such an @ss for thinking you look fat in the Sari. Dude! You look Gorgeous.

Fiji looks beautiful, and your curly hair rocks. Glad your back!

How is it you can smile much wider when covered in mud that surrounded by gorgeous scenery?! Sounds like a wonderful trip, even if you had to do some work along the way.

A Cow Tail is a DELICIOUS brown and white treat. It's soft and chewy!
