Greetings!
Today was a flying day - from Java to Bali. In the morning, however, we had time to walk down Marioboro Street to do some shopping. Pat has consistently questioned whether I should get a small backpack to carry the stuff needed to make it through these daily jaunts outside of the hotel ad bus (water, umbrella, camera accessories, maps, etc.).
I usually stuff them in my jungle fatigue pockets, but the pants have been dropping a little low with the thin plastic belts I wear to more easily pass through the x-ray machines at airports.
We found one at a store at least a mile down the street, making crossing three main intersections necessary twice. Pedestrians aren't given much respect here, and you just have to use timing and a bit of bravado to make it across.
On the way to our resort hotel tonight (
Ramacandidasa Resort), we had dinner at
Warung Smiley, a well-known and liked local stop run by a couple who also sponsor the local chapter of
Trash Hero Candidasa. They are great chefs, supportive community activists, and they deserve all the help we can give to them to help the young residents of Bali protect their island's environment.
