Ubud, Bali.
After Sanur, Lisa and I headed to Ubud. When we arrived I said I couldn't commit to more than three days there. She ended up staying for four. I stayed for six. I could have stayed longer. It was the kind of place you could get...

Of dancing monkeys and grilled fish.
Bali is expensive. Not compared to the US, I suppose. But in comparison to everywhere I've been over the past four months. Maybe I've been spoiled by traveling 12 hours for $4 in India. Or spending $3.50 for rooms in Thailand. Or eating dinner for...
