Time change...

So as I'm typing this it is 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday here in Bali and 6:35 a.m. on Tuesday in Utah. That is a HUGE time difference especially for a 14 month old to figure out. It did take us a good 3-4 days to really adjust. The first night we (well Coco followed by Ben and I) were up at 3:30 a.m. looking at each other wondering what to do until the sun came up! We decided to walk down to the fish market since it opens at sunrise. What a site! So many interesting fish and people.
For the first 4 days we were staying in Jimbaran Bay, a beautiful community set in a small bay on the very south end of the island. Several of the fancy hotels are located here (Four Seasons etc.) taking advantage of the beautiful white sand beaches, calm water and great fresh seafood. Jimbaran is actually know for the fishing and seafood restaurants on the beach. There are probably 50-100 warung's ( local cafe, usually family owned and operated) set up along the beach with tables right on the sand. They have all kinds of live fish, crab, lobster, shrimp etc inside the cafe. They have you choose the actual fish you want before they cook it up for you & serve you ocean side. Its such a perfect set up to enjoy sunset and dinner and a great place for us to ease into Bali (if that's possible)!

Pool time after dinner... Trying to cool off!
