Ubud is a wonderful little town (very seattle-esque) full of art galleries, crafts, mask makers, wonderful food, and tons of shopping!! we ended up spending a week here filling duffel bags full of unique crafts, cheap pearls, and a few tacky souveniers.
Joe had a lot of fun with the masks...and ended up buying this one!!

we saw this dog every day we were in ubud- and every day we were suprised to see that he had made it through the night.... definitely the saddest, mangiest dog I've ever seen.
we pondered buying it a t-bone and then putting it out of its misery....
ubud is full of artists of all mediums. it is also home to the eccentric Don Antonio Blanco- who was obsessed with the female form and also (strangely) michael jackson. he built his elaborate mansion and gold gilt frames here and they are now open to the public
he has quite the menagerie of birds in the front gardens
