Mikarla and I took a trip to Ubud in central Bali for a week. It was the first holiday we had taken together, just the two of us, since we got married 14 years ago. It was a wonderful getaway to a beautiful location, and allowed us to reconnect and get back in sync. Ubud is in central Bali, surrounded by rainforest, rivers, rice paddies, and small villages. Each of the surrounding villages specialises in a specific craft, including, painting, sculpting, stone carving, wood carving, silverwork, etc.
On Monday June 29 MIkarla and I went for a walk through the countryside surrounding Ubud. We walked along a ridge between the two rivers which meet in Ubub, through rice paddies, through a couple of small villages, and along a busy gallery-lined road back into Ubud.
