We're Going to School!

We're going to school---cooking school, that is. We signed up for two days of classes, and today was our first class. This was my creation, and the teacher praised me for my colorful arrangement. I will be honest: I would be more interested if we were in Italy, as Italian food is so yummy and something I would love to fix at home. But we learned much today and met some other tourists from around the world, so that was fun. We enjoyed each other's company so much, we all decided to go out to dinner together this evening and our teacher came along. After dinner Elletu and I came back to our villa and luxuriated in our own private pool. It is so warm tonight, and with the lights on in the pool the scene was just so amazingly beautiful, magical really. We both went to our rooms, I showered but she bathed, and I think sleep is going to feel so good. It was a full day, and I'm tired. We are sleeping in tomorrow as long as we want. Our cooking class isn't until 1 P.M. While it is great to go off and do things, we appreciate any amount of time we have just hanging around our villa, and Wayan brings us anything we want. I loved the wine he delivered to us while we were swimming tonight, red for me, white for Elletu. And the chocolates he leaves on our pillows each night are melt-in-your-mouth treats beyond belief. I pretend they are five calories each. Fat chance!!!!

We hear Cool and her husband are home from Tahiti. I hope they had as wonderful a time there as we are having here. And j should return about the time we do. I hope so, because her birthday is just days away and we need to CELEBRATE. She sent me a picture of her on Route 66 during this long trip she and her husband have taken. In April she and I both leave Route 66. I wonder if there is a Route 67?

Well, it is 1 A.M. No wonder I'm tired. Sweet dreams from Bali!
