Living it up in Bali

Greetings again from Bali, Indonesia.

After being in Amed, Bali, we spent a few days at "home" in the beautiful house of a friend of friend, enjoying being unpacked, cooking, and being able to snack at will.

We are now in Ubud, the art center of Bali.  It's in the hills, surrounded by rice paddies.

 Beautiful Bali rice paddies

Tonight we're staying at a swanky hotel, complete with shower gel, hair conditioner, lots of fluffy towels, and a view of the rice paddies.  While I love being in out-of-the-way places, seeing "untouched" cultures and wildlife, it is such a treat to be pampered in relative luxury.

Like they say, if everything is amazing, nothing is amazing.  The contrasts in where we have traveled to where we are now makes each place we travel amazing.
