Hello from Gili Air , yup we have moved again, we're in the Gili islands off of Lombok and more specifically we're at a restaurant named Scallywags and I'm eating tuna sashimi in a third world country... could be a bad culinary choice, I'm sure we'll find out.

Hi to Bali or Bali Hi
Nyepi
So I guess I 'll start with Nyepi. Nyepi is the Balinese "day of silence" which in more practical terms means we are not allowed to leave the hotel property the whole day , no internet , no music and of course no electricity. They have had Nyepi events the last 2 nights, a dance on Sun and a parade last night up and down the Main Street with these big , and I mean 10 or 12 ft big evil looking figurines on platforms that are carried by a crew of people . Lots of fun, fireworks, bands , torches , singing....all fun , all the time in Bali. So today we are hiding from all the evil spirits and making ourselves inconspicuous so that the evil spirits pass us by.
