Yeah...we made it.

We crossed the threshold of apprehension,

convinced each other of the value of new experiences (rough or otherwise)

and decided to make the leap.

After landing rough and reducing our needs to almost nothing,

we can say, for now at least,

our vision was spot on.

Like all big dreams one must adjust

when the forces of nature and time..

wreck the original adventure concept

only to present some random wrinkles in time and opportunity.

We thank those folks who gave us a life ring or two over the course of the year

allowing us to take a few happy breathes of oxygen (and scooter fumes)

deep enough to intoxicate us to the point of committing to another lunatic....

post Christmas fatigue

We are experiencing post holiday boredom that can only be explained through the lens of biological clock theory because we skipped Christmas. How can it be that we feel a bit depressed?

Perhaps we have Christian blood coursing though our veins registering the time of year as post christmas fatigue combined with post consumption fatigue. We did consume a bit of beach food on Christmas day.

Or it could be explained that all our new friends left for the holiday break and we are lonely.

Anyway, a new year is upon us threatening to start the clock again. Our blood is becoming thinner in the tropics, as they say, so maybe end of 2011 won't be so depressing.

Christmas in Lembongan

Had cheeseburgers on the roof top for Christmas Eve. We have assured the girls that spending Christmas on the beach in Indonesia with just Pete and I is much more fun then having Santa come with gifts. They are not so sure about that. We missed home together as a family and watched a nice sunset followed by local fireworks.

Bali street food- it is goooood!
