Bikes side by side. 

Daytona 675 Exhaust

 

Russ brought his new bike over on Saturday. Man. Nice and narrow. 

Another shot of the bike. 

 

Meditating on that first bite. So good! 

Superb Super Burrito

Went to casa d's tonight. Leaned across the counter, asked how the carnitas was tonight. He lifted the lid, looked sort of dry, I asked if he could scoop the nasty old stuff out of the bottom for me, and the man obliged.
Told me that this was "The Bud Burrito", Bud had been there for years and had quit just the day before to go work at R&R adult toys. Dude set me up with the finest burrito of my life, two huge fistfuls of fermented carnitas, #4 hotness, guacamole, lime, cilantro super burrito. Absolutely the largest a super can be.

 

Warung Komang, similarly empty. 

Main street in seminyak had 5-10 fancy bars, all pumping music, and all totally empty. Sort of scary. Wonder how long they can tolerate being open without any business. 

Goodbye sun. 

Niels running randomly in the shallows. 

Niels playing. 

Another shot of wayan riding another wave in. 

Wayan, boogie boarding at Kuta on our last night. 

Wayan buried in sand at Kuta beach. Oliver is helping to bury him (dutch family staying at same hotel), Niels is easily recognizable in the background from his expensive salon cut. 

Niels at Dyhana Pura with morning croissant. 

Sadness didn't last long, he found a cool stick on the way back from the beach. 

All wet and sandy. Ready to go back for a shower and new clothes. 

The agony of defeat. Wayan surveying the damage. He lost his balance when the shallow water was moving over his feet. 

Here Wayan finally ready to test himself against a wave. Standing steadfast... 

Here are there first tentative frollics with the waves. Wayan is wary and doesn't get wet. Niels gets his toes wet and runs like hell. 

The boys at the beach before breakfast. Wayan in his new freshly laundered clothes that he'd chosen specially. They've never been at a beach with waves before... 

So we left Kuta, headed back to Seminyak and the quiet comfort of the Dhyana Pura. I was in a lot of pain at the time that I checked in, but what clinched it were the kids toys in front of some rooms near the pool. I had some sort of flu whose primary symptom was a headache and pressume behind my eyes so I could only look down, left/right or up caused big pain and ringing in my ears.

This photo is a view of the beach from in front of our hotel (it is beach front!) This is Sunday, all the people are the baliniese out for sunday morning exercise walk. Lots of walking groups, each has a separate color combo adidas uniform.
