in the sand and on cement

goofing off, killing time, surfing, or all dressed up for a holiday at the temple ~ these are balinese kids !

vegetarian in bali !

vegetarian food is easy to come by in Bali ! anyplace is easier than Japan though. we fell in love with their fresh tempeh curries, kailan greens, and gado gado. mmmm and of course the banana pancakes can't be beat.  we also tried durian for the first time ever on this trip.  Ben liked it and compared it to a creamy roasted garlic.  I'd pass on it next time, I don't care for the rotteny part about it.  But I was happy to try it after seeing/smelling it before.

inu and neko of bali

whether swimming, manning shops, eating offerings, riding on motorcycles, sunbathing, or just plain begging, I love these little creatures.

blues

I took mostly cheapie film shots in bali. I feel like they match the vibe that we had going for those 2 weeks. lazy, hazy, beaching/surfing, and so on.

I went through the video we took in Bali this past May and put it all together here, just for fun . . .
