Tulips and Toes

For once, healthy airplane food!
Veronica from Poland helped me choose the color: 
It's called "color so hot it berns" (spelling is correct)
Am in Amsterdam now after a 4 1/2 hour flight from Yerevan heading home - Our flight departed at 6:00 a.m. this morning meaning that we ended up departing for the airport at 3:45 a.m. this morning (ugg).  It was Republic Day in Armenia - and because Yerevan is the capital city - fireworks, car horns, music, concerts until all hours of the night filled my dreams.  In preparation for the upcoming 9 1/2 hour flight and "readjust" we ( me and Kathleen my traveling companion and fellow team member and all around great pal) headed to one of the wonderful spa's they have here in the airport for an "express pedicure" - We have a 5 1/2 hour layover here in tulip country - Everything is designed in the shape of tulips - and they have fresh bouquets of tulips everywhere!   Because the spa was so busy they asked us if we would MIND SITTING IN THE MASSAGE CHAIRS until our appointment - (What as gift!)  We spent an hour getting swallowed and pounded on by a wonderful mechanical chair that literally helped re-align my spine and work out many of the bucket line knots in my shoulders.  What a special treat!  Needless to say, I'm clean and glowing from the knees down but otherwise feel in need of a shower...
Sitting in THE CHAIR in the spa!

More to catch up on later, my time at the kiosk is running low.  Thanks to all of you who have been sending emails and reading about my adventures.
