Sunday lunch at Detlev's

We ventured to Canggu for a late afternoon and most delicious Balinese meal with Detlev and 25 of his friends, two German Sheppards and a few Bali dogs. An very interesting crowd of Americans, Germans, Indonesians, Italians and Japanese. I was able to get a comfortable seat where I could sketch, enjoy a glass of wine, meet new people and engage in interesting conversations. It doesn't get much better than that.

Looking at the pool and pavilion from the open-air great room. Just beyond are rice fields and the beach.

Salsa dancing contest

This was not easy and thank god for my new kacamata (eyeglasses). Now this was multitasking—sketching in very low light, trying to capture the movement, chatting with friends and drinking wine. Now, it's all about salsa—more salsa sketching and soon salsa dancing lessons. 

Enjoying the show

The salsa dancing contest was in a bar at a big hotel on the beach in Sanur. It was very low light so the woman at the table next to us had no idea that I was sketching her. Besides, she was mesmerized.
