Who knew that the first 2 minutes of “EAT, PRAY, LOVE” were in BALI?!! Thank goodness they cut to the chase because after I downloaded it last night – following a very large dinner of Roasted Pumpkin salad, Gyoza (shrimp and chicken potstickers), and Mie Goreng (amazing wok-fried noodles with prawns, calamari, and shiitake mushrooms; recipe to follow in our blog once I return to the States) …oh yay, and after a 90 minute “Deep Knead” Balinese-Thai massage… I was out like a light!! So this morning over breakfast – anxious to see Bali in this film before my day of cocoa farm trotting began - I watched the opening…How amazing that I am here! It looks just like the film (though as they said on the internet – they did take some liberties – but what movie doesn’t?… we do just in my 30 minute TV show!). Anyway, I did hear from my driver that this healer who is featured in the movie became VERY FAMOUS after the movie premiered… isn’t that always the way it is! However, I asked the question that I thought would interest you all the most… “IS HE ANY GOOD?” To which the driver replied, “Eh, they’re all the same!” TOO FUNNY!!!! p.s. Julia Roberts must have filmed during dry season or had fabulous hair and makeup people – or both - because I think that she has curly hair like me and there is no tamin’ this mess here!!! No makeup either – it just sweats off! OY! Chocolate, rice terraces, pork ribs, and temples to come…. But for now, here’s my dinner from last night and more beautiful pictures of the grounds here at the Four Seasons…
