..Today..

So today, my cousin and I decided to have a picnic on the National Mall. She’s leaving to go to UVA next Saturday and I told her that we needed to spend some time together. It was such a beautiful day. Not hot not cold just right. (Gosh it sounds like I’m talking about Goldilocks and The Three Bears with that sentence, haha).

We got to the National Mall around 5p.m. and time went by so fast that before we knew it the sun began to set. As I looked at the Washington Monument surrounded by the pinkish and orangish shades in the sky, I felt like kicking myself for not bringing my camera. I was so angry that I missed photographing such a beautiful sunset. Yes, I’m a sucker for sunsets. I think they’re one of the most beautiful things in the world. One thing I want to do one day, is just travel all around the world and take pictures of sunsets in different countries and then create a book out of it. I want to do the same thing of creating a book of the different Mosques around the world as well. I love the different Mosques and the architecture. Speaking of architecture, I still need to go see The National Cathedral. I think I’ll do that sometime next week.

And oh my gosh, I’m so excited for fall!! I was at Borders the other day and by the register I saw these postcards of D.C. and some of them were of D.C. in the fall time and it looked so picturesque! The colors of the leaves were beautiful.

So I had such an interesting dream last night. I dreamt that I was getting married in India and that I came out on a huge elephant in the street with women dancing in colorful clothes and throwing flowers everywhere as they sang happily for me. At the other end of the street, stood the groom and his parents waiting for me. On my left were my parents sitting on another elephant and on my right were my sisters sitting on an elephant as well. I smiled and waved happily to my friends who stood on the street with the dancers. And then yeah I don’t remember the rest of the dream. But I was telling my cousin about my dream today and she told me about this one guy who got married in D.C. and had the streets closed for his grand entrance of coming in on an elephant. I couldn’t believe it and then she showed me the article online. Here’s the link to it. I was pretty fascinated by it. I told her that when I would get married it would say “Bride Turns Heads With an Elephant of an Entrance.” But I would much rather get married in India. There’s no comparison with weddings back home. They go full out and just seeing the colorful streets and men and women dancing in the streets makes it so much more fun!
