Thank You Seminyak, Bali







   Today, for my last full day in Bali, I really tried to take in the neighborhood and culture. It was a beautiful, sunny morning so I took the easy 20 minute walk to the beach and soaked in the sun. Semenyak Beach is beautiful and I kind of wish I had stayed here for the entire week in Bali.

   As the rain clears and Bali enters their summer season, I know I will be back. Of the 10 new countries I have visited in the last year, Indonesia and Thailand are at the top of the list to visit again. And that's considering how humid it gets and how easily I sweat, lol! I just think they are both beautiful countries, with equally beautiful and welcoming people, rich culture, delicious food. 

   The above pictures are all from Seminyak Beach. Below are pictures of my neighborhood. Every morning, offerings in the form of small plates are made to the gods and you see them everywhere. Like in most Asian countries, Indonesia has a great reverence for their gods and their ancestors. It's a beautiful thing.

                                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...
