We'd like to especially thank Jerry and Ketut for many wonderful times in Bali. For those interested in quality Balinese art, they have a special place in Berkeley/Oakland, where they sell quality stone and wood carvings. Ring of Fire, 6600 Shattuck Ave., Oakland, CA, 510-923-0131, or www.ringoffireimports.com. They select them very carefully for style and quality. They have statues from small ones you can hold, to life size that weight thousands of pounds. And they deliver!
