    Några bilder från Josue och Dani's bröllop i St Petersburg. Dani är från Kambodia och hennes familj buddhister, så det var ett tvådagars-bröllop med cermoni och parad på lördagen och ceremoni, vigsel samt middag på söndagen. Jag var enbart med på söndagen, men det var en otroligt upplevelse att få se en traditionell buddhistisk ceremoni. Ceremonin i Dani's föräldrars hem bestod av sånger, ljus som skickades runt emellan de äldre (sisådär 50 varv), ösa blommor och frön över brudparet, och knyta små tunna armband runt deras handleder. Vigseln tog plats i en katolsk kyrka med vit brudklänning, och faderns överlämning av bruden. Middagen hölls in en festlokal där 600(!) personer var gäster. Det var en 8-rättersmeny med kambodiansk touch och massor av skaldjur: jag var överlycklig. Det blev traditionell buddhistisk dans, och jag njöt. Så himla fint.

    Wednesday, Jericho tried to organize a surprise trip. All I needed to ask was what to wear. As soon as he said swim wear, I knew we were going snorkeling. We went on a boat tour in Key Largo, one of all the islands making up the Florida Keys archipelago in Southern Florida. After half an hour, we stopped at one of the reefs and spent two hours snorkeling. We got to see some big, beautiful fishes and several huge conchs. Because of Isaac, the hurricane, the water was somewhat cloudy, and we didn't have an underwater camera with us so we couldn't take any pictures. After snorkeling, we went to a bar/restaurant by the water. We decided to hang around until sunset, and I am lucky we did. The view was amazing. We took our desert out on the dock and watched the sun set, creating a beatiful, colorful sky. What is more relaxing? We talked about the future, about hopes and dreams. About life, what really matters, what makes us happy, what it is all about.

    And in that exact moment, it was as if nothing else existed.
