Ubud

Kay's just jived down the street with a group of western women, sharing earphones, and singing to the funky beat - the locals can't quite believe what they're seeing but all are laughing...!
We had another separation of the sexes yesterday. The boys went rafting and careened down rapids past high jungly cliffs, occasionally falling out for a swim. Amazing scenery.
The girls brushed up their cooking skills and chopped and ground their way to a delicious feast. Mmmm. The class included a trip to the local market where some intrepid souls tried a yummy, healthy, slippery, jellylike drink. There was food of all types for sale, fresh produce and takeaway specialties - the local maccas?? Also clothes, spices, kitchen goods and anything else you might want. We also learnt more about the local culture and offerings.
Then it was off to visit a local birthing centre with Kays friend Sara. We had baby clothes and specs to donate, which were greatfully received. Unfortunately there were no little babies to goo over.
Some of us had pizza cravings for dinner, and the others were very satisfied with our exquisitely presented, delicious but small and expensive servings - well, they cost $7 each for fresh tuna and stirfry veg!
