It Only Takes A Of Couple Days To Feel Like Forever

It took us over twenty four hours of traveling to get to Bali, Indonesia but here we are on our third day and I feel like I have been here for weeks. Just finished a simple breakfast with coffee and am sitting outside of our room listening to the rain gently fall down. I think this is where they record every ambient relaxing piece of music from the sound the rain to the birds and even the annoying roosters in the morning it just makes every inch of your body relaxed.
Now that I have blabbed on about how relaxed I am I can tell you that our first stop in Bali has every reason not to be relaxing. We are staying in the Legian/Kuta area which is beyond touristy. Every shop sells the same shirts, sarongs, watches, random wooden penis', offers massages and shady money changing. We have walked street after street, been called beautiful, sexy, and girlfriend. We've had people try and be our friends, take pictures with us, and of us. We have had an overload of people selling everything. At one point there were six people crowded around us at the beach trying to sell us everything from massages, to bow and arrows, to bracelets and hair braiding. We even said no to rice hats and ice cream. Something I am still regretting this morning, as I imagine sitting here with my rice hat on and a Magnum bar. Maybe I'll get more ice cream today. We also had to switch rooms. It is disgusting hot here. Our fan in our fan room broke the first night. The point I am getting at is that with all the craziness that is here, the people hawking us, there are still not words to explain how amazing it really feels here.
The sunsets are like falling head over heels in love. The people are incredibly kind. The smell of incense is everywhere, calming the soul. The sounds are relaxing. The vibe is just all around good. I think I see why people never leave and I think I remember why I always wanted to be here.
