Bali III


Well, it's another hot and humid day here in Seoul. I received an email from a gal that lives about 10 minutes from us...and her Yellow Labrador is really not enjoying this heat. It's around 100+. Since it is such a warm day, I posted a picture from the hotel in Bali. We stayed at the Conrad Hilton ...and it was super. If you check out the website you will see a really neat Chapel on the grounds. For some reason I did not get a picture...but the entire building is glass in almost an "A frame" shape...it's pretty spectacular. There were several honeymooners there and we "think" an engagement. You may be able to see a covered building on the left side of this photo. It is marble and surrounded by fountains. On our last night they placed candles inside a paper-like holder all around the platform, fountains...everywhere...there must have been over 200 candles. They topped it off with rose pedals all over the place and linens draping the corners of the roof. We were thoroughly entertained from our perch above the festivities having some snacks and relaxing before dinner. There were two other couples sitting on the veranda area with us...one couple from Boston and the other from Germany. We were all discussing the elaborate preparations and wondering what the occasion was. All the hostess told us was "It's a very special dinner"...we were hoping for a swarm of paparazzi or something! In the end...it was a marriage proposal...and after all of the effort/planning we hoped she said yes! :-)
