Beautiful Bali!

We arrived safely in beautiful Bali. Thank you Jesus! Mariella and I went to the busy tourist town of Kuta for the first night of our stay. It was crowded and the beach did not appeal to us. The next day we took a taxi south to Bingin. We are staying at a beautiful beach hut run by a Frenchman. Charlie and Christy thank you for recommending this paradise. Awesome! Wayan, Juniati and their daughter smiled wide when I told them about knowing you guys. There are less than thirteen visitors on the whole stretch of beach. Luckily it is the offseason and there are not many surfers because the break is not great this time of year. The “Dreamland” break is just to the north of us and the “Impossibles” break is to the south. We’ve met some nice people during our stay. We’ve spent a good amount of time with a family visiting from England. A highlight for me was spear fishing with Chris (the Dad). We went out night spear fishing yesterday and also this morning. I speared my first fish! Nice! We gave to fish to the grateful locals. We hope to stay in this location five to seven days. We will be in the Bali area for about one month. The warm weather, beaches and snorkeling are great. We only wish we could teleport the ones we love to this location with us. It would be so much better to share this tropical paradise. We need to put on more sunblock. Check out the photo of the sun burn. Ouch! This world is a beautiful creation and we thank the creator for the gift given us.
