What was the best meal this week?:

I had the best meals this week; I can hardly pick one! We stayed on an island that's supported by its own farm, so I got to eat so many fresh fruits and vegetables! I don't have any pictures but I ate a lot of fruit that I can't get in India this time of year— fruits like mango, pineapple, passion fruit and papaya! 

What music did I listen to this week?:

This week, I listened to a lot of jazz and some American music I've been missing. The island was quite quiet, though, so I listened to very little music and mostly enjoyed the peaceful sounds of nature! 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

Since part of my week was on vacation, I have to say that snorkeling was the most fun activity this week. I had the best time!
