Bali Part 1 -Rice Fields

I am staying at my friends Callais Harrision's home in Bali with my mom.  Callais and I went to school together in Caulfeild, West Vancouver and we are both just finished 5th grade.   Her family moved to Bali last year.  Mom and Callais Mom, Kimberly, are good friends and we can visit and stay with them at their Villa Kavaya in Canguu.  Near Echo Beach.  The first thing I was very interested in is the rice fields.  We took a bike ride through them and mom loves riding a moped through them every morning to go to the beach or yoga class.  Some people are very protective of their rice from the birds, hence the picture of the the rice field with all the ribbons and scarecrows.  That rice farmer acts like those dads in Vancouver that treat their front lawns like golf courses!  Rice farming is very hard work and needs to be done by hand and in mud. Workers don't make much money and women carry all rocks and mud in baskets on their heads.    I think rice fields are very beautiful, especially when cascading down a hill or in the sunset.  I like the green rice fields contrast with the white lime roads surrounding.   Enjoy the pictures.
