Ubud (pronounced OOOO-BOOOD)

We are spending our last few days of Indonesia in a town called Ubud. It's an inland town away from the beach but it is supposedly the art and cultural center of Bali and there are many art galleries, temples, and museums here to justify that. Jennifer and I have been pampering ourselves with good food and massages instead.

Last night we went to a Cecak dance. It was a traditional dance show where 70 men sat in a circle chanting a (chk chk chk) noise for two hours while a show was being performed in the middle. It was hard to describe but hopefully when I post the pictures you guys can get an idea of what it is like. Otherwise, we have been battling out our turf with the local monkeys here.

In a few hours, Jennifer and I will be taking a cooking class, to cook some traditional Indo food. Hopefully after a night of drinking and clubbing, I will be able to invite you all back home for some late night nasi goreng and chicken curry!

alright, i'll be posting more pictures when i get to a faster internet connection...a bit slow here.

hope everyone is doing good and staying away from the swine flu
