Komodo today and lots of anticipation. Linday is still debating whether to go ashore because of the heat and Luke being so active so it is possible for a sitter to be found for Luke so she can enjoy this unique experience.

Tomorrow is BALI and the Balinese are dancing three feet off the floor. Our wonderful Balinese approached John some time ago and asked if they could put on one of their colorful cultural dances for the guests. John asked them how much they wanted for it and the answer was, "Nothing." Plans have gone ahead, costumes ordered and will be picked up in Bali and the dances are planned for next week. I asked one man the cost of the costumes since they are so elaborate and was told about $500. And the Balinese are willing to cover this cost themselves. Needless to say, some have been quietly helping out with the cost. They practice each night until about 2 a.m. for this program which will run about 45 minutes.
