April 28-May 2: Ubud

After a few days in the busy beach area of Kuta/Legian in the southern part of Bali, we headed into the interior of the island, to the “artsy” town of Ubud. It reminded me of a Balinese “Napa” – lots of nice restaurants, beautiful, serene scenery, and art galleries. Ubud has always been known as a center for the arts, but even more  so after famous European artists hung out here in the 1930s. Ubud was one of my favorite places, but not really a place for kids. There wasn’t a lot to “DO” – it was more a place you just hung out and took in the spirit of the place. There was every shade of green imaginable – from the terraced rice paddies to the jungle out the back door. Before arriving, we had a few places in mind to stay, but the taxi driver thatdrove us toUbud “had a friend” (as usual) who had a guesthouse which ended up being perfect. It was down a quiet lane through the rice paddies, and near a river, which you could hear gurgling below. We had a patio with a beautiful view of the jungle beyond.

One of the nice restaurants (above). This rice paddy was being readied for planting. Must have been a beautiful spot when the fields were green.

Tasha LOVED the silver-smithing classes she took – one in Thailand and one here in Ubud. Here are the results of her classes.

Much to the kids’ amusement, I couldn’t get enough of these rice terraces

  30. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you’ve done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome.
    Exceptional Blog!

  31. Fast setup, very easy to use and configure even without knowledge of protocols or any computer
    skills. Things changed when Cialis made its appearance in the market.
    Premature ejaculation can be frustrating for each partners and might even endanger their relationship if

  47. 온카지노 says:

    온카지노 are a great platform for playing all casino games over the Internet. It is also known as the Internet casino. In fact, these days, people don’t want to go outside to play casino games. Because of this, only http://www.99ute.com became popular.

  48. 온카지노 says:

    온카지노 are great opportunities to enjoy at any time. It offers many different games.

    Compared to live casinos, there is no interaction between players and transactions. In fact, there is a computer program instead of a dealer.

    All games run with computer automation programs.

    Games like poker and blackjack run faster than they really do because they don’t have time to talk to each other. http://www.99tnc.com

    I hope I can go on vacation in summer.
