Yes, it would be great indeed! You arent still there, are you?
Thank you!

Unfortunately I am back in the states…wish I was still there though!  Here is my buddy’s facebook information because I don’t have an Indonesian phone anymore and I’ve lost his phone number.

He’s a real cool guy and extremely friendly.  He can help you out with anything you need/want to know!  Good luck!

Dear Paul,
I wonder if you still check your blog from time to time and if you will see my message.
Today I was lucky to find this page of yours. It is amazingly interesting!
The pics are also great! I saw the "zoo villa" :) How did you find this place? Was is hard to find a nice place to stay close to Denpasar? Thank you! Daria

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your comments!  I don’t check my tumblr page that often, but I do check it when I can.  I found the zoo villa through a friend actually.  I can give you a friend’s name and number who is a local and helps tourists find places to live out there.  I would suggest Seminyak or Legian if you want to stay closer to Denpasar.  Let me know if you want his contact info!

Halloween!

Here you go mom! My villa…

Our villa in Legian!  It’s called the “zoo villa” cause there are a good amount of animals that either roam around or are kept there.  There are around 10 deer, baby and adult, that roam free along with at least 10 cats and kittens.  There are geckos galore outside and inside our villa as well.  There’s one big bird (I don’t know what it’s called), an alligator, and 2 huge python snakes.  Even though there’s lots of animals, there’s always chillin vibes to be felt.  It’s a great place to stay in Bali.  There’s a couple of albums (1 for my mom!)

You are a wise soul and I love you. Not you in the physical sense but in your spiritual sense. You are what I wish I could be. Me... bound with a spouse and job. I wish you love, peace and continued amazement at this world we live in.
Cheers,
Mary

Wow, thank you so much for the message! I really appreciate it, especially coming from someone I don’t know.  I’m really, really happy you like my blog.  And remember, everything that is in me is also in you.  Find it :)  If you can understand anything I’ve written and like it, I highly suggest reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.  Honestly, it changed how I live.  I hope you all of the best in all of life.  Maybe we will talk again!

Your friend,

Paul

Ijen.  My favorite place in Indonesia.  It took some time to sort through all of these photos…

More Bromo

Bromo continued…

The Almighty Bromo.  I needed a couple of different albums to convey Bromo’s beauty
