You might think that all I do in Ubud is get massages... not so. Sometimes I take long baths in salted herbal water with flowers floating on the top! This I did yesterday, before spending time sitting on the floor of Anik's shop drinking Bali coffee that she ran to the next shop down to make for me. She came running back, feet wet from the pavement, with two little bags of peanuts. I had to refuse since I am worried that peanuts may have contributed to my allergic reaction the last time I stayed in Ubud... either that, or the mold. She made me a little white top while I was in Amed, so I bought that from her as well as some silk scarves. They are beautiful! I also picked up two shirts that I had made by her friend. Such wonderful workmanship... I wish I had ordered more from her. As it turns out, the seamstress I did place an order with, has closed her shop until the 12th because of a Toothfiling Ceremony in her family. Unfortunately, I leave earlier than I had told her... so I am wondering what will happen. We will see.
