Beautiful Bali

In the past few years, Bali has experienced much sorrow and destruction. But the beauty of this island still beckons, and her people, though weary from the hardships caused by fellow man, are warm and friendly as always. I arrived on Wednesday to join my aunt and uncle, and my cousin Carolyn and her boyfriend [...]

Saturday at the movies

Watched two movies yesterday. The first – Murderball, was Colin’s choice, and the second – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, we both wanted to watch. Turned out to be a bit of a surprise as I actually enjoyed Murderball more than I did Pirates.
