Hi everyone! So glad these pics are getting some of you to think "Bali", and I hope others are just enjoying the armchair journey.

On this day, Gede was taking us up to visit the volcano that had erupted in 1963. Naturally, the trip up the mountains were filled with wonderful vistas, which I will show in a moment. This pic is of the bamboo poles that are curved, split and shaped into beautiful designs in honor of the mountain god. We saw hundreds of these all up the mountain, in every village and in front of every house. They are apparently replaced with new ones whenever there is a ceremony...wedding, funeral, special temple event, etc.
