Make sure you click on the pictures to expand!!!!

This is the bay at Jymberan every morning.  What a view.  The beautiful Canoe fishing boats all brightly coloured. 

Checking out the fish coming in.  It is about 7:30am.  Need to get early before it gets too hot. 

Silly fisherman. The Bali people are always smiling and funny. Life is enjoyed, even if they have hard work and lives. 

Mom and I.

Poor fish.  These are fish I see when I snorkel.  I didn't know you could eat Parrot Fish.  I didn't, so don't know how they taste.

Mahi Mahi.  Mom's favorite.  Mine is Barraccuda

Blue Lobster.  Sooooo Good

Callais and I picking up some snapper.

Tuna

Ohhhhh.  Prawns and Shrimp galore!

We bought some fish and they bbq right at the market. Cost like a dollar. We get rice and spice and head to the beach for breakfast!  Yummy

Callais and her mom and dad, and friend Peter.  Me too and we get a table out on the beach to eat our fish from the market for breakfast.

Mom and I went back to the fish market at night.  Resturants are set up on the beach and again, eat fish.  They were selling these laser beams, which are illegal in Canada.  I got one tho.  It is ok, cause I respect the power of the force. 

Hope you enjoyed the Fish.  Next is "Critters" Post #7.  If you are new to my blog, be sure to view the posts below.  And click on the pictures to expand. 

Hanging out in Bali Post #5

POTATO HEAD BEACH RESORT

the building is made of shutters!  The coolest thing I ever see.  It is about 3 stories high and resturants, pools and the beach is on the other side. 

Was that a shark?!!!!

Weeeeeee

Resturant has beds with their tables right on the beach.  What a hard life I have!

Mom and I enjoying the Pool Bar. Great milkshakes.  Mom's had Rum in hers.

This is the first day at Callais Villa.  The entrance is filled with fish ponds and I love getting up and having the duty of feeding the fish.  The Teak Fish in the background Mom carries in her store. 

The building in the back is called a Gladek.  Bali name for Guest house. It is made of Teak.   This is where I stayed.  I didn't have far to walk to get to the pool.

This is the entrance to the Villa.  I love the big Gates. 

Me at the pond with fish again.

I went to a soccer camp for a few days at the Canngu Club.  It was fun, but hot!

Just contemplating life, or peeing.  Maybe both.

I am really enjoying this.  Soo many interesting things. 

Mom has fun too.  She rides a motorbike around.  I am jealous, cause she won't let me drive it, or even on it.

Again, a very difficult life. 

This is another cool building.  It is the pond off the tree top entrance of the Four Seasons in Ubud.  The jungle is below and it had the most amazing view.

I hope you enjoyed Post #5.  Next is the Fish Market!

Green School, Ubud, Bali Post #4

This is the Green School that my friend Callais goes to.  It is in Ubud, Bali and pretty cool.  The class rooms are made of bamboo and palm leaves and always outdoors.  The only airconditioning is in the ATM kiosk.  Here I am outside Grade 5.

 This is a classroom.  The lecture area is this cool round desk with the teacher in the middle.  The design is too keep the students cool.

This is the main part of the school and the high school is upstairs.

This is a new classroom being built.  So neat to see how the frame is made.

Callais Desk

The school raises endangered species and the critters are cared for by the students.  These are Bali Sway Back Pigs and were nearly extinct. My favorite guys, they were sooooo cute.

This was a protected bird.  I forgot the name.

These monkeys are also protected and they didn't have any for me to see, but they are the smallest monkey in the world. 

I got to spend some time at the school and of course jumped into the sports with the students. 

Every boy is from some other part of the world, but give us a soccer ball and a bamboo net, we're good! The secret to Global Peace!

Hope you enjoyed this post.  Next is "Hanging Out in Bali"

Gods and Demons

Gods and Demons are worshiped several times a day by giving offerings for good will, karma and safety. 

offerings for demons intersection for safe crossingsdemons at stairs for safety

 These below are called Pandora.  Above is a offering temple.  Both are placed at every building, some times several offering temples are in a home.  The villa we stayed at had 4.   The women place offerings in the temples, Pandoras, and on the ground (for demons) for good karma.  

Temples are like churches where the people gather for worship and have ceremonies several times daily. 

smaller temples are between buildings for quick drive by worshiping needs.  Mom is lost and asking the gods for directions. 

Beaches have temples for the gods want the best views......and they may like to surf.

Buddas are very popular and are worshiped daily.  This Budda is at our villa and even the trees are sacred and blessed for protection. 

This is a sacred rock at our villa.  It is blessed daily with offerings for the gods.  Dressed up for special occasions too.  Nice skirt.

This is a genish god of protection.  there is a whole story about this guy....but i am not the best to tell it.

Me at a temple at the safari park making offering to not get eaten by Komodo Dragons.

beautiful temple

Men gathered at temple after ceremony and women making offerings at temple and roads.

I am very blessed and protected with great Budda watching over me.

This day is "Metal" day where everything made of metal is blessed.  Every car, motorbike, even fridge, stove, oven, furnace.  Mom's computer got blessed, but it still blew up.   Guess she didn't make the gods happy with her offerings.  

I am blessing the motorbike

My final day in Bali and I am giving offerings to the gods for safe travel home and thanking them for my wonderful and safe visit in their land.  Phew.....the gods like me.  Oh, so do the Demons.  Hee Hee
