Oh Boy... what 2 months can bring!

Let's see... How about a few pictures for each of the 8 weeks I missed...

A trip to the Indonesian Moscow Circus - where Bryan was inducted to play a guitar slingin' Cowboy to the delight of all our new friends. Now we just explain his goofy behavior by saying "He was in the circus."












Made, the gardener, teaches Zoey to count to ten with flowers.
Satu Dua Tiga Empat Lima Enam Tujuh Delapan Sembilan Sepuluh!



















Rice Harvest in Front of Uma Cantik... After two weeks of scaring the birds away from the padis, they worked from dusk to sun-up to miss the heat. These pictures were taken during the last hour of harvest at sunrise.





















After discovering our garbage was sometimes ending up in the bottom of a nearby ravine, we went on the Rubbish Adventure, visiting each of the stops along the way in the local trash collection process in order to gain a better understanding of how to take care of our garbage. The excavator at the end of the rainbow... Singaraja's new landfill. We traded 8 bags of garbage from the ravine for 128 flies in our van. (Orcas Exchange: we dearly miss you.)
















BALI Coffee! A plantation visit set up by a friend with owner Nyoman who walked us through the process and sent us home with a kilo of our first "green beans" to roast.














Bryan's sister Paula joins us for three weeks. Her first ceremony, the biggie... Galungan: the day to celebrate the good spirits' triumph over evil.

A New Home for the Next Adventure... at Lovina Beach - an acre of beachfront with a ten room hotel, restaurant, shop and funky beach house for us.  (more photos: Photo Gallery of the future Lilin Beach Villas & Blue Door Restaurant
