OMG....are you sick of hearing from us yet today?! Just had to do one more quick post tonight. (Karen, this is just for you....cuz you know....I'm building a fence....not just putting up posts. LOL)
Just returned from dinner. Ended up at LOL which is a restaurant that regularly features live music. Tonight was reggae night so we couldn't resist. Don't worry family and friends....there are no drugs in Bali so we were okay to go to reggae night.
Had great meals with 2 appies as well. Appies were spring rolls and a papaya with shrimp salad that were as good as they sound. Meals were Thai chicken curry with rice and an Indonesian dish called Gado Gado. It is a vegetarian dish consisting of a number of different vegetables (potatoes, carrots, cabbage, a spinach like leaf, green beans and bean sprouts, as well as a hard boiled egg, some crispy shrimp chips, and two types of lumpia (which is a tofu type protein). In the middle of this veg medley was an amazing peanut sauce that had just enough spice to be perfect! Also we both had bottled water, Lynda had an iced tea and a latte, and I had a mango mohito. We also had live music from the time we finished our dinner until we left and the band took their first break (so a little more than an hour). Total bill (including tip for wait staff and band) was less than $40. Jeez...where else can you go out for dinner, drinks and entertainment for $20?! Loving Bali!!
Hopefully there won't be another one tonight,

P.S.
Have not yet mentioned in any of the posts about the apparant lost squeaky toy that is outside our house. It shows up at about the same time every day (5 pm'ish) and we have yet to see what is stepping on it to make it squeak. We can't even see the squeaky toy! Honestly though.....its not really a squeaky toy......there are two types of geckos here. The kind we are used to seeing (the cute little ones that run all over the walls in Hawaii or Mexico) are called house lizards here. Those little guys make a chirping sound for any of you who have yet to run in to them. In Bali, geckos are much larger than house lizards and they make an entirely different noise. It really is kind of like a super irritating dog toy but not quite as squeaky...more croaky....but not as croaky as a frog. So if you can imagine all of that....you'll know exactly what a Balinese gecko sounds like. Maybe he'll keep you awake for a while tonight too. LOL
