Beach Walk 414 – Enjoying the Process

April 27, 2007 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

I went to see one of the local dance performances in Bali at the Arma Museum.

Just me and one other tourist in the audience! No matter, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, and it reminded me to not get attached to doing things for others.

Beach Walk 412 – Kebun Indah, Beautiful Garden

April 24, 2007 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Please enjoy this tour of the bungalow in Bali where I am staying for the week.

I took stills because otherwise this episode would be 10 mins long and that would take me about 5 hours to upload from the internet cafe in Bali. 🙂

It is a slow time for tourists and most Americans have been scared off by the State Dept warnings so I am the only guest and feel quite like the queen. Delicious breakfast delivered to me room every morning. Gorgeous room with large bath and balcony, and view of the rice terraces where I get to observe village life.

Beach Walk 411 – Walking the streets of Ubud

April 23, 2007 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Here are some scenes of the Ubud, the village in Bali where I am staying for the week.

This is an unfiltered view of scenes captured on one of my daily walks into town. I am staying on the edge of Ubud, and tomorrow will show you my little retreat at Kebun Indah. The internet seems to have slowed down measurably since I arrived (!) so I am thinking about doing audio more than video this week. It is taking me a few hours a day to upload files. That’s not on my retreat agenda!

There is an interesting interchange of elegant and primitive, ancient and modern in this village. What you cannot experience too much is the lovely, generous quality of the people. Or the many smells of this place. If you don’t like incense, you might find Bali difficult on the nose.

Holoholo: to take a walk
