On Saturday the 20th me and Lindsay decided to go to Ubud for a day trip. It was about a 45 minute Taksi ride. When we first got there we went to the Monkey Forest. There are gajillions of monkeys there and they are wild! You can get really close to them, and buy bananas to feed them, even though this is not recommended.
You can soon see why feeding the monkeys is not recommended- they can smell them on you and will climb all over and basically attack you if you don't give the food to them! We almost had as much fun watching the ridiculous tourists as we did watching monkeys!
We rented a motorbike too. Lindsay drove, and I was on the look out for any obstacles. It was alot of fun to be able to get around on our own, and we didn't die! We went to the Ubud Pasar (Market), which is crazy packed and like a maze. Also, we explored around Ubud a little, taking some dirt roads and meeting some local rice farmers. We went to a huge, old, Pura (Temple) as well. Ubud is the art center of Bali, and there is alot of historical preservation there.
One other funny thing we saw was a flock of ducks thinking they were a car and causing a traffic jam! We were on the bike, wondering why traffic was so backed up, but then we saw a bunch of ducks and ducklings waddling along in the middle of the road- not even caring about all the honking or anything. It was a fun trip!
Below are some baby grasshoppers I saw in the middle of a flower,
and a giant one on the leg of my table!
I also got a package from home this week, from my mom (Love you mom!). Inside were magazines, gum, chocolate bars and my one true vice- Lay's Salt and Vinegar chips!!! This is what they looked like after their trek all the way from Canada:
