In Bali....finally got to add some photos with a real internet connection at the "Italian and Japanese Cafe" next door to our hotel.The first night we went to kuta beach which is where the sunset photo was taken.

the second night we went to the art

center director's house and watched a gamelan orchestra as well as balinese dancing. (both of which i will have learned by the end of the trip).

it is absolutely beautiful here. the weather is fantastic and the ocean breeze is energizing. so energizing in fact that today i saw signs for the Bali 10K. I immediately bargained with a cab driver and had him take me to the registration. Below is my number, t-shirt, and offering to the gods of speed.

So at 6am on Sunday I will be running through the streets of Denpasar...

Oh, took a photo of dinner the other night. The snakeskin looking item is a new fruit called SALAk. very delicious and strange...also tried mangostine the other day. even better.

but there is great satay, and fried eel...everything with rice. amazing food. (Allie, i dont know how much you like spicy food, but if so, this is heaven).
