Postcard from Ubud

(Oct 18th)

Now we are in Ubud, inland in Bali.  The interior of Bali is all about rice, and we've been immersed in it.  We are staying in a standalone little building set back in the rice fields called the Lumbung House ("Rice barn house").  Rice may not be the most interesting food to eat, but it sure does look pretty when it grows.  Yesterday we took a bike tour through rice fields and small villages.  Totally beautiful and totally hot and sticky with the tropical weather and 90 degree noontime sun angle.  Ubud is such a relaxing place we feel like we could spend weeks here, but later today we'll head down to the beach in the town of Sanur.

Here's the view while working on the blog.

"Good Morning" and waving.
