This is actually pretty funny. Jamie and I stopped at this roadside fruit stand and bought this fruit for 25,000 rupiah. As you can see they are quite large and actually out of season for Bali. The Durian fruit is a fruit which the natives say, "tastes like heaven, but smells like hell." We decided to try it out. I thought I handled it pretty well, but as you can see from Jamie later in the video, she didn't try and hide her disgust. Poor lady gave us a bunch of bananas instead.

We appreciate all of our family and friends who have stayed in touch and emailed us with encouraging words throughout the year.

Trying the Durian fruit in Bali

Kind of like the husband who jumps into the lake first to find out that it comes from the melted snow off the mountain. And musters every ounce of strength in his body and calls to his wife between clenched, chattering teeth..."come on in honey, the waters fine..."
