As soon as we walked out of the Denpensar airport, there was a paparazzi of locals searching desperately for their vacationers/people. Then one of the girls screamed..."Look! There's "Theresa Kaeser" sign!" Wayan, our driver, was enthusiastically waving to all us to come over..we all screamed and waved back like excited children...he grabbed some of our bags, and we headed to the sweet van. He asked where we were from and if we were students...Hence, we were Really white and looked like 20 years olds...we all are going to get along just fabulous : ).
As we walked in the parking lot, the sun drenched our faces, as our pale skin absorbed every ray it was emmitting. Dang, we are going to need sunscreen. And it was hot as hell (...still wasn't sweating). But, man, did we love it!!! Beats the PEI chilled wind for sure!
It felt like forever until we reached our T Houses---where we would be residing for a month. The way Bali locals drive here was worse than downtown NYC. Motorbikes would intertwine through cars...go in opposite directions...there was no method to this maddness of driving. The roads were narrow and the turns were so sharp you had to stop to make it. There were so many feral dogs just walking or laying around the road....we realized how busy BAWA will be!
As we walked towards the "Lemongrass" house..we were awed by the view of the rice fields and the adorable cobblestone pathways. We were walking into a jungle...
The view from our place was BREATHTAKING. We were all so tired that we couldn't believe we were here. Forgetting how bad our stomachs hurt from hunger and heads spun from exhaustion and heat, we just were so overwhelmed with happiness and taken away by the beauty we were seeing....
At it has only been a few hours here...this is going to be the best month of our lives!
I am so happy you guys made it safely!! miss and love you! xoxo
