Rice Straw Drying in Front of a Brick Wall, Near Ubud, (Pengeringan Jerami Padi di Depan Dinding Bata, Dekat Ubud, Bali, Indonesia) Bali, Indonesia, 1977.After spending a good portion of the first half of 2018 in the hospital, my wife now considers herself fit to join her sister on a cruise from Indonesia to Australia. They fly out this evening and will return shortly before the year-end holidays. I am not thrilled by the possibility of her relapsing so far away, but her cardiologist told her to “enjoy life.” Anyway, I am not going along, and I am forced to remember trips to Indonesia and its neighbors in the 1970s and early 1980s. I was lucky to see Bali before the huge influx of beach-going, heavy-drinking, t-shirt tourists hit, and I am of mixed feelings about going back. This is an image from a large and as yet mostly unscanned collection of slides. There was a time when I could speak and read some Bahasa Indonesia, but I realize I have not used it in 25 years and have lost what little fluency I could once claim. -- source link
