Treasures from Kuta Beach

September 1, 2014 By Susan Blumberg-Kason Leave a Comment

Tom and I moved out of our condo this weekend–seven years after we left the place. You see, when we moved to the suburbs all those years ago, we basically abandoned the condo. This was before flat screen TVs were common!

Condo

We’ve had renters, friends, and friends of friends stay there over the years. I nicknamed it the Safe House. So now that we have all our things out of there and will remodel it and put in on the market this fall, I’ve been unpacking my old belongings. Which, PTL, includes old photos I didn’t even know I had!

These photos are from Poppies Cottages in Kuta Beach, Bali. I went with my mother to this most romantic place when I was 20 years old. Here I am at Poppies along with another guest at the resort. I think she was Australian or maybe another American. My mom’s memory is better than mine.

In any case, I wonder if this photo is dated or if I was just an odd 20 year-old with a Speedo racing suit. You’d never see a 20 year-old wear this at a resort these days!
