We friggin' made it here! There was concern after illness and leg issues, but we decided we can try and see what we can do.
Good news. Montse MD prescribed me a stress free life of positive living, also she hooked me up with some good meds that have done their fair share of work too.
My mystic Montse on her birthday. Thank you, thank you. You are missed on the travels.
Oh yeah, this post is about Bali!
This place has it all! Jungle sounds to put you to sleep. Jungle friends to keep you awake.
We have actually stayed inland in a town called Ubud the past five days. It is a popular tourist town and we are glad it is low season, as we feel a bit crowded here. All in all though it is wonderful.
We have spent our days visiting Hindu temples and traveling through the countryside.
An evening shot of our hotel. It was on the outskirts of town and was quiet with fantastic views.
We have used a moto to get around and really like it when we have gotten off the main paths.
We have also been able to visit many temples and in particular the most interesting was the Pura Tirta Empel. It is a cleansing experience of washing yourself at the temple.

We have also been enjoying the traditional dances of Bali and seeing amazing temples.
Kecak Dance - Fire and Trance
The dance focuses on vocals of the men to tell the story of the battle between good and evil. It was traditionally performed only by the men and only recently has begun the incorporation of women into the ceremonial dance. The best part is the end of course as the trance protects from the fire.

We have also really enjoyed the food here. Whether it is the traditional food or the local rib joint up the strwet, which was awesome and we have eaten way too many ribs.
Nasi Campur, it is a local rish dish which reminds me a great deal of bibimbap, but with very different flavors with a lot of garlic in the veggies and sweet and savory flavors for the pork and chicken.
The incredible ribs with an amazing spicy sweet BBQ sauce.
Goodbye from Bali :). We are headed next to Java. Thanks for keeping up with us.
