A Day in Ubud

Yesterday - long and interesting .......as reported Today, but wait - it’s Now actually being published three days later as the first installment because it’s so long.  I know, you’re confused - try my end of it  but all will be revealed....... The day started casually enough -  up early, usual routines, rosy dawn filled with all the previously mentioned sounds, Bali cool which is to say-balmy, no rush-no worry, brief review of days flow chart that is always just a rough draft and ..........we’re off and running, boy howdy!  Where to begin recalling and unraveling the days events after pretty much pleasantly collapsing at days end - no notes,  no more brain space left for thought other then getting to bed and nodding off to sweet Bali dreams that may include dancing Legong beauties  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legong , monkey antics, market place tourist bling and exotic fruit sampling and pyramid enhancing cosmic consciousness expansion........but first, a short drive by our tru

Rice Terraces of Jatiluwih & “Da” Godfrey

Yesterday’s journey to the interior turned out to be longer than anticipated - not unusual as these trips have proven and while we were tired afterwards, it was interesting and satisfying.  The morning started out with a stop at the BIWA, Bali International Women’s Association that Katrinka is a member of, for their annual environmental fund raising bazaar and would be there assisting all day.  We arrived early with our replacement driver for the day, Ketut - sort of relative of Komang, our unavailable regular driver.  We walked among the various booths selling everything and anything - clothing, food, electronics, used household items, drinks, you name it.  We were here so David could give one of the opening invocations starting off the days event.  The four major religions of Bali - Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity are represented with a prayer given by someone in that community to start things off.  David gave the Buddhist Mantra of Loving Kindness blessing and friend and
