A lengthy Bali update will follow, but wanted to share this with friends and family. Thanks to Barb, our awesome CouchSurf host here, we have a mobile phone now! Incoming texts are free, not sure about whether incoming phone calls are also yet, please note this number down for any emergencies or if you really want to call/text us! In fact, if anyone could call us so we can figure out the incoming international call fees (they have a balance star service-like option), that would be great too!
To dial us, we THINK you dial: 011 62 812 37 535597 (yes, that is a lot of numbers!).
It will be our number for the entire time we’re in Indonesia, so until mid-July or so.
Bali is awesome. Oh, and Daddio – Happy Birthday and soon, Happy Father’s Day! We are sitting in a restaurant in Kuta at the moment, which is piping spanish music. “Wantanamera” or however you say it came on and I thought of dinners at Casa Bonita with you. Also, every time I look up at the stars (often!) and pick out the constellations I know, I think of you too. Love you and miss you! Best Dad Ever (Rhys may say that Tony holds that title, but I am partial to mine. And I’m always right. ^__^)
Rhys Martin was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1981. In 2009, he sold everything he owned and left the country, living out of a backpack for ten months. He discovered a passion for photography while traveling throughout Southeast Asia and Europe.
After returning home, he looked at his home town and Oklahoma heritage with fresh eyes. When he began to explore his home state, Rhys turned his attention to historic Route 66. As he became familiar with the iconic highway, he began to truly appreciate Oklahoma’s place along the Mother Road. He has traveled all 2,400 miles of Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles. He has also driven many miles on rural Oklahoma highways to explore the fading Main Streets of our small towns. Rhys has a desire to find and share the unique qualities of the Sooner State with the rest of the world.
Cloudless Lens Photography has been featured in several publications including This Land, Route 66 Magazine, Nimrod Journal, Inbound Asia Magazine, The Oklahoman, and the Tulsa World. In 2018 he published his first book, Lost Restaurants of Tulsa.
Rhys loves to connect with people and share his experiences; ask him about enjoyable day trips from Tulsa, locations along Route 66, and good diners or burger joints along the way.
