Between the dots

The little things that happened in between the big things...

Fish Spa and Some Shopping

At the malls they have little fish spas where you can get your dead skin eaten away by the fish. You pay different prices for the size of fish and for each ten minutes. Mike was so calm. I couldn't hold my feet in for more than 20 seconds at a time. Lucy would have none of it.

Lucy proved, although we never doubted her, to be a champion shopper. She loved carrying her bags and was adept at spotting things she couldn't live without. Like her mom, she went home with a whole set of new purses.

Elephant Sanctuary

We expected the wonderful part to be riding on the elephants but in reality just being so close to the elephants as the walked and bathed and ate was the most fun. Lucy was both fascinated and scared. It was fun to see her put together what an elephant really is after all our books and distant viewings at the zoo.

Bali

On our way to Bali my dad was denied entrance because his passport didn't have enough time on it. He ended up keeping Lucy with him in KL and mom, Mike, and I spend the weekend in Bali. I think it worked out okay. Lucy loves hanging with grandpa and the rest of us spent a lot of time at the spa. Don't be fooled by our pictures and imagine us adventuring around the island. We were very content to eat good food, swim, and be pampered with massages and body wraps and facials and milk baths.

Batu Caves

Mom scared us about the monkeys, but we were able to successfully ward off all attacks and enjoyed our hike up to the caves. When we finished our hike all the girls got henna painting on our feet. We were so surprised to see Lucy sit still the entire painting, but she was fascinated.
