Poirier-Tyler 2011 trip

Hi Nadine! Je pense a toi en train de boire ton cafe le matin … et lire notre blog. Le matin Andre prends un pot de cafe et moi un pot de the (ce matin j’ai pris un genre de cafe au lait et j’ai pense de t’ecrire …c’est tres plaisant entoure des ‘champs’ de riz. Les enfants ecrit dans leur journals et on prends un peu de temps pour organiser les futurs activites. C’est assez chaud, Andre dit que ce n’est pas si chaud que ca, peut-etre 30C. Bonne journee a tous.

We are catching up on some sleep and feeling more alive. United airline lost half of one tandem
in transit somewhere. We should get it back tonight hopefully! Otherwise we just walked around town (Ubud) yesterday. The main interest for the kids was the market. Ubud is turning into a busy tourist place.

Tuesday we had a nice walk around the rice fields and got used to the heat a bit more. We are still on Bromont time – we wake up at midnight and can’t get back to sleep. Alex played on his iPod from midnight to 6:00 am!!

Wed: hired a driver for the day and went to the biggest temple in Bali – Besakih. We were lunky because the Balenese are celebrating now and it was full of people dressed up to pray – (much more lively than the Maya temples). We had a traffic jam waiting for a cremation procession to pass – interesting for the children. Then we went to the beach – quiet but not amazing

We got to Bali as planned, we need some rest. We will update you after some sleep!!!!

We found two tandems in the USA. We should get them early next week.

Hope this time is the right one, I am learning the blog world!
