Guess who came to Singapore

Harriet
After a long flight a little dinner and drinks were in order
Barbara liked the drinks part, maybe a little too much
Dinner was stewed beef in Chianti on mashed potatoes, one of Barbara's favorites
More drinks the next day
Then off to the spa for a fishy foot bath, these things are like little piranhas that feast on the dead skin on your feet

Barbara's not so comfy, she's a little ticklish
So is Harriet
This is little more up their alley, a little foot reflexology
No really it doesn't hurt, it feels good
This is more like it
I thought this was really cool
All done with rubic cubes
Later that night a little get together at the Mansion with some of Barbara's work mates
Harriet discussing the fundamentals of football with one of the Brit's

Posing for the camera, I think she's looking for a modeling contract
I don't know what happened here, Maybe she got that modeling contract

A few snapshots from the river cruise



And now we're off to Bali
Happy Harriet
The best Mexican food we have found in SE Asia
Yes it was hot
A margarita maybe
This food was awesome


Always happier after a little food
And a drink
This is where surfboards go to retire
Happy beach girls

This is our place in Bali. It was pretty cool
But Barbara wasn't so cool with the bathroom being connected to the kitchen. Oh yeah and no door for the bathroom, Barbara definitely was not cool with that
Ooohh light colored bubbles
Harriet likes light bubbles
The girls with our driver at Uluwatu

Our greeter at Uluwatu. I figure that is what I looked like in a former life

This is the KaChuk chanting circle which starts a show which depicts a princess being kidnapped by a rival king then some spirits intervene and in the end all is well after the white monkey comes in and saves the princess. So thats all great but this is the real kicker in the performance
This was a little nuts. At the end of the show the white monkey is sitting in the middle of all these burning piles of hay with kerosene poured on them, look closely and you can see him in there
Then he gets up and starts running around kicking the piles of burning hay. Keep in mind the audiance and chanters are sitting right up to the edge of the performance area

It was crazy. There were at least 4 times the the hay landed on the chanters and they got up got up running and yelling while other were trying to put out the flames. Saftey comes second
Quite the pimpin ride

Year of the tiger

The models at it again

The bill is how much?
How cute is that?
Sad Barbara leaving Bali
The plane ride home
The feast at Gilmans. Everyone has to go there.
The carnage after
The New Asia bar over looking the city 74 floors up



Harriet waiting to see if her plane was going to fly or if she was going to be delayed by the volcano
Our new Buddah addition
Harriet after she found out she was going to staying and extra week because of the volcano, so we went and celebrated a Lagnaa, my favorite indian restaurant
And yes we ate the whole thing
Looking for weird and interesting foods to try
Lets try this one. Looks yummy
Maybe not
One more hawker stand feast before Harriett has to leave.
The girls looking lovely


Roman rocking out
Sad Harriet. Her flight finally got confirmed. She tried hard to stay one more week.
Off to the airport.

Bye Harriet. We loved having you, come back soon.
