Our first trip to Bali...but not our last!

We had a great time in Bali over the mid-semester break. We traveled with some new found friends Jim and Liz, who also live in Bintaro.

Here's a few pics-

Jen and I after our first Discovery Dive. It was awesome! We were able to do an hour long shore dive and saw some amazing corals and fish. We liked it so much, we decided we must get certified. Our plans are to go back in January for a 4 day open water course.

A great hike along a ridge right out of Ubud

Me walking through the Ubud Market. It looks like I am walking sideways but Jen tells me I always look like I'm walking sideways!

More market

Jim and I hanging out in the Monkey Forrest trying to look tough so that the monkey's would leave us alone.


Liz and Jen were a bit horrified at the monkeys as evidenced by their expressions.

There were a ton of monkeys!
