Gossip Girl starlet Blake Lively is smokin’ hot in an Adam jumper short at the 2009 CW Network Upfronts at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Thursday (May 21).
The 21-year-old actress has been on enjoying her time off from work and exclusively told JustJared.com about her hiatus.
“I’ve traveled all over Asia,” Blake shared, “I went to Thailand, India and Maldives. I stayed at the most incredible place in the Maldives called Soneva Gili and you have to take a boat to get to your glass-bottom hut in the middle of the water. It’s gorgeous!”
Ms. Lively didn’t stay idle while trekking through Asia. “I’m half-way to getting my scuba license and I went to cooking school in Thailand,” she shared. “I never get time to do things like cook and travel, so now I have two months off and I’m trying to take advantage of it as much as I can.”
When asked if she took back any sourveniers from Asia, Blake told JustJared.com, “Yeah, we actually rode elephants barefoot and washed them one-on-one in the river. It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever done. I got a painting that an elephant made for me and that is definitely my most prized possession. And some beautiful jewelry from India!”
I didn’t know elephants could paint!!!
