Halo Halo/ Goodbye

So, I spent this am cleaning up my room, packing up and making my final rounds - saying goodbye to the friends I've met here, and the folks I met during my daily routine.

Right now the sky is pouring out a very heavy monsoon-like rain. I'm not looking forward to 24 hours in transit, but considering what I learned about ship journeys to the US from here, I am thankful for airlines and airports.

After 4 weeks of trying to eat healthy here (hard!), the advertisements for "Halo halo" sundaes won me over, and I finally gave in and tried it yesterday. The purple ice cream looked so tempting, and it was even better than it looked. "Halo halo" is full of all sorts of tropical fruits and ice creams and is garnished with cornflakes (picture courtesy of Maxschicken.com). Wish I could bring home for my folks back home, but they will have to settle for my other favorite snack here - Nagaraya Cracker Nuts. They will travel better.
