Saying goodbye to Josh Grillo in Seminyak Bali

Two years ago I was a single man. Two years ago today I was saying goodbye to Josh Grillo and friend from N. Carolina, who had been on a surfing trip here.

My house off of Jl. Dhyana Pura was still being equipped with bbq gear and I remember we had a hell of a party, the floor ending up pretty wet and everybody dancing. All Josh’s friends were connections from college, very cool they all kept in touch, even though 2 were married.

One of the funny moments of our last night together, was during our dinner at Rumours, on Jl. Oberoi, 4 sexy dancers strolled in and started performing. I loved it, there were 2 on the counter and 2 more in between the tables. One of our party who was married, was reprimanded by his wife for ‘acting like he had never seen a woman before’. So funny. Rumours is still an okay deal for western food, although not the bargain basement it once was. You can still get a damn good beef stroganoff for around 30,000rp.

During Josh’s trip out to Bali he went to Lombok and Sumbawa, and told me some of the best surfing he’s ever done was at Lakey Peak in Sumbawa.
