| Allan drinking fresh coconut water.... Yummy |
Thought I'd do a quick picture heavy post to fill you in on some of the things we've been doing in the past couple days. Ubud is really turning out to be one of our favorite places. Why, you ask? Despite it being the most touristy place we've ever been to before, the people are sooooooo friendly. Honestly, I would come back here for this fact alone. The balinese remember your name, your favorite food and are more than willing to stop and chat. Another thing I am loving is the coffee: it's fantastic. I go out of my way everyday to have a cappucino made for me from down the street....it's that good.

Ubud is absolutely breathtaking. The views are fabulous, the food is amazing and the people are so friendly. Can't wait to see what today brings. (we've hired a driver for the day to take us off the beaten track. Hopefully I don't encounter any more monkeys!!)
