Time sequence no. 2

Riding in the back of a pickup with the boys on top a load of groceries to a good snorkeling beach about five miles away was fine...

ridin' with the groceries in the back of a truck, Bali

... it was just on the way back that things started to get a bit, well, challenging (the red and black in the background is my shirt as I'm hovering over Xander and Zekey) ...

Here's more of Jane's view from the inside of the cab, looking to the front this time:

The cool thing about tropical rainstorms is that they're not that cold, well, once the pickup stops to let you off, anyway. Oh, and we'd already gotten wet snorkeling, so we, um, got the salt water rinsed off of us quite thoroughly...

Time sequence no. 1

Y rocks! Y rocks! Y rocks!

Some signage, most excellent...

Bangkok, near Chinatown in a neighborhood that specializes in automobile engine reconstruction

Ayam Goreng, Tahu Tempe
"Fried Chicken, Tofu, Tempeh"
Indonesia is full of roadside restaurants like this one with their specialty animals painted on them. Did I photograph any? Of course not, except for this one in Bali, near the end of our stay in the country.

Warung Segara Beach (our restaurant), Amed, Bali
The sign that pointed to our restaurant on the beach, on Bali's north coast. (Well, okay, actually the place that we ate at a lot - you know what I mean)

Gusti Ayu Artatik / Balinese Dance Lesson, Ubud
..and another sign from Bali to round out the group. Happy noticing, everyone!

I've gotta get part of my house looking like this someday

Amazing wall, Ubud
A detail of a store in Ubud, Bali, which is very similar to Santa Fe, Bar Harbor, or any of those other kinda artsy tourist towns loaded with yoga studios and cool pricey botiques that you'd like to spend all your money at, but can't. (Except that it's in Bali, of course...)
