I vivid Ubud in 1976, Tim. I suspect it is a bit different, now. My blogging friends tell me that there is even a Starbucks!

It is significantly different from our first visit in 2009 and when we went in 2016. Ubud had turned from an enjoyable place to visit with some tourism to solid tourists. I have no plans to return.
I did get some great photo opportunities with the funeral of one of the Ubud Royal family member and a traditional wedding in the interior near the volcano that is currently erupting.
Yes, on the Starbucks.

I’d like to take Peggy, but my first trip was so magical, I know there is no way to repeat it. The funeral must have been fascinating. I still have art hanging on my walls that I bought in Ubud. –Curt

Unfortunately, I’d not encourage it.
The funeral was fascinating and huge. Here is the link to my Bali Gallery. It has some of the images from the funeral https://timothysallen.smugmug.com/Travel/Bali
We too have some of the shadow puppets and fabrics.

Some impressive photos there, Tim. And I agree, funeral pyres are something I need to see.
When I was in Bali with my first wife, Dutch artists had taught a number of Balinese artists to paint and they were creating some very impressive work. Their homes were their studios. –Curt

It seems as if art is an integral part of the Balinese. We were able to visit a shadow puppet maker that did some terrific work. We purchased a number of puppets from him.

I don’t remember the puppets. I check them out on Google.

They are generally made of leather, painted and put together by punching holes in the leather and using rivets. They can be quite colorful and expressive.
