Bali, part 2

 I am not sure why this is taking me so long to finish posting about this trip, but since my mom keeps reminding me, I will add some more pictures.  These are some pictures of the second hotel where we stayed.  It was very cute and felt local.  

Every morning they replace the flowers around the hotel

The rice fields at Tegallalang are one of the big tourist spots.  These pictures look pretty because I aimed my camera to remove the things that are too touristy.  

So here you can see the toursity things.  They built these swings, and you can pay to go on the swings.  they have stores across from the field to rent these dresses with the long skirts.  So people rent these dresses and then have their boyfriends take their pictures.  Before you ask, no, we didn't do this.  But I do see the appeal because the pictures do look nice. 

Next stop was this temple -- the Temple of the Holy Water

This is an altar at the temple, and people put up their offerings. 

These are the offerings -- people put what they want to come back to them.  These include money, flowers and Oreo cookies

Our guide showed us what they do at the temple of holy water -- they take water from this fountain and put it over their head three times, and then drink three times from their hand.  They also put the flowers behind our ears as part of the offering.
