Its raining all day today…
Looks like the wet season is around the corner, its has rained non stop all night and all day. Ramadan has just finished, which means the local mosques will turn off their loudspeakers for the next 11 months. Seriously they pray on loudspeakers all night long for 28 days solid during the fasting month of Ramadan.
Yesterday I was invited for a meal with all the village people where I plan on buying a plot of land, so this was a wonderful experience for me, I have a few pics of this truly magical culture change, I was welcomed, fed to bursting point with all the local Lombok and Sasak quisine and made to feel part of the local community as I watched chickens, cows, dogs and children play in the coutyard, buffalo graze and all the local woman prepare food in cooking pots over burning timber.. a great experience, truly out of this world, priceless..This was their Christmas Day and I really was a able to see the difference a community makes to the well being of all involved..
Oh yes, I forgot to metion I awoke up to the building shaking as an earthquake 6.5 on the Ricta Scale hit Bali, a bit scary my first earthquake experience!
