The weekend

Much R&R this weekend. No work, all play. We did have to move out of our condotel on Saturday morning thought due to Indonesian school holidays. Our latest abode is a lovely little rustic hotel with Javanese charm that faces the beach (yeah!)until we leave on the 29th of the month. Our American friends, Ashok & Razia, now working as psychiatrists in New Zealand will be joining up with us later this week, so we needed something a little more civilized. This morning for the first time since arriving in Bali, I didn't hear the crowing of a rooster as my wake-up call. Instead, it was the sweeping of the path outside our room with a hand broom. Each are hand-made and practical. Our place has a front porch with old fashioned planters chairs and an ornate lamp that has been converted from oil to electric. Very quaint... My week starts tomorrow with a visit to Udayana University Faculty of Nursing and a visit to the hospital. John is focused on learning to wind-surf. I have asked him to wait until after tomorrow when I should have an opportunity to tour the hospital, including the orthopedic ward and operating theater before he moves forward with the idea. Happy Fathers Day to all of you Yanks that are fathers:)
