Snake Fall

Jason was sitting at an outside table eating lunch at Luhtu's on the beach here in Sanur. That's a small, popular shady place for tourists and local bule foreigners mainly.  His meal was interrupted when a brown snake fell out of the tree he was sitting under onto his head. He quickly brushed it off - into the open purse of a lady at the next table. Looking it up, wasn't poisonous, called it a garden snake. I think it might have been the Painted Brownback, the most common snake in Bali. - dc
