Bali Indonesia

Bali to the land of dreams and tranquility. I have heard over the years about this part of Indonesia and have been interested in seeing what it is all about so here I am. I stayed in a town north of the airport called Seminayk  and the next day attended a school festival on Saturday. The kids go to school six days a week and this was a special day. They are Hindu here and every six  months they wash them selfs to cleans away sins. At the school there is music and offerings to the small temples within the school grounds.They as a family unit go to the ocean on Sunday during this period and wash in the ocean.  I went to a town inland about 2 hour's by bus named Ubud and  is so very different there. Beautiful terraced rice fields. So much work to grow rice They do every thing by hand from the planting to the harvest. They have lots of ceremonies One simple ceremony each day where they place a small container with various items. Flowers, fruit and some vegetables.
