Bet you didn't know that a tiger can turn into ice cream

It feels as though Tigers are invading my life. If this sounds strange, then I'll explain. I began this trip reading Life of Pi which has a tiger in it. When we bought our car, we were trying to decide what to name it. Just as we were discussing it, I opened up the thing that shields the sun and out fell a little stuffed tiger so of course the car was telling us to call it tiger. We began to refer to our car as tiger to ourselves and others. When he began having problems, we would pet him to give him encouragement. When Tiger died, we decided that the money we got from selling him can only be used to buy ice cream and not just any ice cream. It has to be a yummy ice cream that comes in a cone. After Tiger died, we began to see Tiger everywhere. The night that he died we stayed in a hostel that's above a restaurant called Tiger. I also began to read another book called The White Tiger. We found another bead store called the Tiger Eye. They had tiger eye beads. We read a sign that says tiger eyes support emotional wellbeing. It all began to make sense. Sara and I have both been feeling great on this trip. We hope to bring this balance back to the states with us.
