Bre in Town - Can't Rain On My Parade

Our little Bali vacation did not start out well.  By the time we made it a good spot on the beach, we had accidentally paid $6 for a peach at the grocery store...

...spent too much money on wine, found ants in our hotel room, were chased down an alleyway by a dog who nipped Bre's ankle, and haggled way too long with the guy who tried to charge us $30 for a chair on the beach that shouldn't be more than $3.  Grr.

Finally, time to relax.  Settling in, we put up our feet and watched.... the rain roll in.

*Sigh*.  Oh well, at least the beach was pretty quiet that day, just us, a couple of vendors selling shells and fruit, and the lone left-over Balinese offering.

After a couple of hours when it really started to rain, we headed up to a restaurant and comforted ourselves with pasta, wine and chocolate.

It was good people watching, the food was excellent, and we still had a view of the waves.   I suppose I've had worse days.
