More Bali.....

We continued our adventure the next day with a day trip to different villages. We first headed to a cultural performance called "Barong" Good vs. Evil. We were given a piece of paper to explain the story. It was very interesting on how much preparation and emotion goes into each performance. The costumes were amazing.





Carissa made sure and got a seat in the front row. After the show she got to go on stage to take some pictures. I guess being a cute tourist pays off....

Our next stop was in a village called Celuk, it is known for its silver jewelery. We were not allowed to take pictures but they showed us the process of melting the silver and how they make the different designs. This village was silver shop, after silver shop. I would have stayed there all day if Ben would have let me.

On to Kintamani volcano....the kids were really excited to see this. It is an active volcano, but hasn't erupted in quite a long time.

We ate lunch overlooking the volcano and the hot springs down below. The kids found these little guys funny.....
On to the Monkey Forest. This place had monkeys running all over the place. We even saw one steal a bag of potato chips from a lady.







Ryan had is own little encounter with a monkey and he has the scare to prove it.
As you can see the kids are enjoying this little monkey. Well the monkey decided that Ryan was too cute so he jumped at him and scratched him on his ear. We all freaked out, but Ryan went into hysterics. It was just a small scratch and we put disinfectant right away. He talked about it all night long, we thought for sure he was going to have nightmares, but he didn't.
I am sure he will show you all the scar this summer and tell you the story.


After that incident, we called it a day.
