A 5-year-old's impression of Bali

One night at a restaurant in Ubud, my 5-year-old daughter, Paris, drew this picture of a Balinese women with a basket of fruit atop her head.

As we drive around the island, we see women walking along the side of the road, balancing towers of offerings, fruit, and flowers on their heads. Paris is so impressed by this--and was especially in awe when she saw someone carrying a table, a big one.

"How does she do that?"

Paris actually tried one night, walking around with a book on her head. It fell to the ground with the first step.

"I can't do it, Mom!"

"You need to practice!"

"No, I think it's magic!"
