A very nice travelogue. Your take on Bali and "progress" was fun. Humans are arrogant, Americans most of all. Truth is JFKs dad was born only a couple years after the car was "invented" and probably lived his early life dependent on a horse! He lived long enough to see Americans walk on the moon, his son's dream and goal for the rest of us. Progress for ALL of us is quite recent. I am sure your guides possess more advanced technology than the most powerful folks on the planet had in 1970. That is my lasting sense from traveling for sure. We live in great times!
Thanks Mark! After talking to one Balinese person about their memories of getting electricity, Christina and I talked a lot about her grandfather, who grew up in the South, and got electricity from the Tennessee Valley Project. Christina's grandfather lived into his 90s and saw A LOT of progress in his lifetime.
Great post - I love that it oozes gratitude from both sides - yours for Bali, and Bali for your visit. Hope the flight through that time tunnel was a good one! ✈️

Thank you! I really appreciate that!
That feeling of falling into your own bed after a days long series of flights can not be beat. Thanks for letting me follow along and good luck!
Thank you for coming along!
Congrats on an amazing trip and safe travels home!
Thanks, looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again!
Thank you for taking me back to one of the happiest times in my life. Selamat jalan!
