Not much to report yesterday. Kate and I decided to just hang. Two big travel days still ahead of us and we’re nearing the end of a long, wonderful trip. Better to be rested than cram in more sight seeing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back on Shadow Mountain, a meteorologist who lives near us measured 46″ of snow. This is the biggest storm since 2003, a storm which caused the previous owner of our house to install a generator. It’s hard for me to visualize that much snow. No electricity coming out of our solar panels this week. Predictions are for warmer weather starting Thursday so it may melt before we get home. I hope.<\/p>\n

Our last evening in Singapore we went to the Peranakan Museum where we picked up some gifts, then visited a shopping and cultural center called the Esplanade. It looks like either a durian (local, controversial fruit) or a hedgehog. We listened to some Sikh music. The Sikh holy books were written as ragas, a form of classical music which uses quarter tones, so we heard them being sung.<\/p>\n

We ate at the Singapore Cricket Club, in its Padang Restaurant which overlooks the skyline of downtown, very modern, Singapore. Beautiful. A gracious and elegant meal to close out this part of our trip.<\/p>\n
