Thanks for the tour. That stonework in post 17 is giving me some ideas. That Ravenala multi in post 5 kicks a$$ also. Looks like a relaxing trip spent avoiding crowds. (crowds of palms okay though)

Paul...is that a multi trunk Ravanela in post #8...?

If global warming means I can grow Cocos Nucifera, then bring it on....

steve..i believe it to be a ravenala.it is the same one that appears in the third pic of post #5.i don't know whether it is a multi-trunked specimen(if that is even possible)or 3 individuals planted close.

could i be any more vague?the answer,sadly,is no.

I can't get over how short you look in post #13.  And as far as palms being numbered, I want to know what that cool thing is Enjula has painted on her palm.  Is that henna?

kim the reason i look so short is a law of physics called

"refraction",maybe you've heard of it. :D

Damn you Paul!  BTW, Padang food is supposed to be eaten without utensils (that is what the stainless bowl of water is for).

Paul, I totally enjoy your Bali trip photos.  Would like to stop over to spend some time shopping for stonework etc.  I love the outdoor shower in one of your posts.  Really fantastic.  Will definitely be stealing as many ideas as I can.  Awesome.  Thanks again.

Those grooves on the side are conveniently foot-shaped! Squating like that would seriously cut into my reading time.

In addition to not being able to sit down, I don't see a handle for flushing, or a roll of TP in the photo.

Paul,

the vine in post #33 looks like a syngonium to me. The adult leaves look very different from when they are young & they lose their coloration/variagation as well.

Paul: While you were in Bali, I was in Branson. Here's a shot of everyone at Silver Dollar City piling into the giftshop when a major thunderstorm hit. I thought you'd appreciate the expressions on each face as well as the irony of the Raggedy Ann dolls in the background.

Dear Paul  :)

that sacred banyan tree of religious belief we have it here even in our place !and what was missing is a neem tree beside it along with lord ganesh statue...

the outdoor garden with roman_greek styled staues with

fern trees around should have been one heaven of ambience !

thanks for the stills and as usuall want to see more... :D

love,

Kris  :)

love conquers all..
