One of the statues in the villa.
Last November, I traveled with a small group of friends from Guam to Bali. I am used to traveling alone, so this was a new experience for me. It was so much more pleasurable to travel with friends than be alone. Since it has been almost a year since I went, this post will be mostly photos, with whatever text I recall. (I forgot I had started this blog a few months ago, the previous blog piece).

Kadek, our wonderful  driver had come with Anne the night before and came back again the next morning. I was charmed by the flowers in the restroom at the airport. Kadek had this sign, the first time I have ever been "signed."
Arrived at the villa in time for breakfast and the plan was to go to a tourist attraction called Tanah Ratah. They said I could rest if I wanted since I had had such a rough night. No way! I don't want to miss anything.

Offerings everywhere! So spiritual.

Tanah Rata, a Hindu temple. Supposedly sea snakes protect the temple. At low tide, you can walk to the little island. It was high tide.

Stayed at this nice villa in Seminyak for one night. Love Bali bathrooms.

First dinner out at an Indonesian Restaurant, d'Roemah by Lonny.
Next day, Uluwatu temple (pictures below). This was incredible. Could follow along with the Ramayana story in this Kecak dance-drama.

    I have traveled quite a bit, and am using this page to record some memories. Travel is a wonderful education, expanding your view of the world, of other cultures, of the beauty of diversity.
