Beautiful Bali

 






   

   After a couple of days in Bali, I am in love! I have a beautiful, spacious place as you can see in the photos. The grounds are very green and peaceful. The pool area is serene and relaxing. It has been raining quite a bit, but it adds to the whole rest & relaxation vibe.

   My friend Mike landed last night. Today we met up and had dinner. We did not go to the place I originally wanted - on a cliff overlooking a temple on the coastline - because of the rain, but we will go there another night. It was good to see him again and we talked about what we wanted to do over the next few days 

  This part of my vacation will be a mix of site seeing, beach days, and spa days. We have two plans for tomorrow, depending on the weather. The weather can be very unpredictable, even the weather apps change constantly. Apparently we are at the tail end of the rainy season and I've heard April-May is the best time to visit. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful place with lots to see and do so I'm looking forward to the next few days!

    I love checking your blog every few days to see what’s new and exciting in the world of Cliff! Thanks for taking the time to describe what you’re seeing and adding photos, some which need no description. Can’t wait to see you, hopefully soon, and hear more about your travels! Stay safe, nephew! 💜

    Serene and relaxing for sure sure!! That is captured in these beautiful photos!! I hope the rain breaks enough for you to go to that restaurant and the other things you want to do! But obviously you are not letting the rain put any damper on your state of mind. I love to hear how relaxed you are. Sounds amazing. Love you more

    Fantastic! It’s hard to even imagine that’s such a peaceful serene place exists. I’m so glad you get to experience Bali. It looks like there are many good reasons to go there. I bet it’ll be hard to leave.

                                Aug. 23, 2024 - Maui, HI                   Lately I have been asked by friends, family, and co-workers if I keep a journal or blog about my travels. You see, I recently started flying again and this time I work for one of the largest carriers in the world serving over 300 destinations. So, I decided it would be a good idea to keep records of my experiences and journey. Not necessarily for others to read, though I do love sharing, but more so for myself. I enjoy writing and taking pictures, so what better way to chronicle my odyssey!       In the past six months, I have traveled to: four Hawaiian islands multiple times; Paris and Chantilly, France; Amsterdam three times; London; Geneva, Switzerland; Shanghai; Juneau, Alaska; and many states within the continental U.S. My company offered a temporary leave...

Um Parque com Ginasio

  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.   It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly.    There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...
