  • Silver making

    First stop of the day was to give us the opportunity to make our own jewelry. We decided to make rings. I went with a Bali symbol for good luck and Kayla made her art logo she uses for her drawings.

  • Snack break

    10 luglio 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F

    Took a break from the driving and enjoyed a local snack! It’s a plant based bread with baby coconut and liquid brown sugar. Bite off the corner of the brown bag and drizzle it all over. Not to sweet, but good.Leggi altro

  • Tirta empul holy water temple (pt.1)

    10 luglio 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

    We visited the purification water temple. The simple story of the this holy water temple is… There once was an evil king. When the people try to overthrow him he poison them. The gods are not happy with the situation so they created a watering hole that cures anything... sickness, emotional, and more. Those that survived chased the king out of the city.

    The process is: you stand in front of each watering fountain to give thanks and ask for the healing you need. You place your hand together and put you thumbs on your forehead as you pray. You then wash your face or dunk yourself three times in front of each fountain. This is not done at any specific time but when an individual feels they need some guidance.

    Ana was our guide for the water temple. She showed us the water temple Ritual educate us on the traditional prayers.

    We were then taken into a restricted “prayer only” area where we were shown how to give thanks. Monks bless you with sprinkled water as per mission to start....you s give thanks, 3 time grab a flower from the offering to pray... 3ti,e place the flower in your hair or ear ..and the last time no flower is used. The monk then gave us water to splash on ourselves and then gave us 3 grands of rice...3 each to place on our head, throat and to eat.Leggi altro

  • Traditional dinner with a Bali family.

    10 luglio 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

    Anna, our guide from the temple brought us in their home to make a traditional Bali dinner. Her husband told us the story of the water temple. I was so proud of Kayla, she tried everything but her favorite was the hard boiled egg! We will be getting the recipe from Anna!

    About this home: (sorry, to dark to get a good photo) they have a small plat of land, surrounded but a stone wall. The rooms are not connected....we had to walk from the kitchen, to the diminish area, to the bed rooms...and so on. Soooo beautiful! The husband is an artist and his art was everywhere,

  • Last day

    14 luglio 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F

    We had 2 hours to spare from our checkout at noon. We took a walk, had ice cream and enjoyed A cheese cake.

    The main waitresses, Gloria, took care of us the whole time. She had such energy and was so kind. She shared with me a special drink she makes... with alcohol... on the house.

    Gloria was playing match maker with Kayla and a boy waiter named Nora.... how cute!

    We are ready to truck the long road home.🥰

  • Hong Kong Airport

    15 luglio 2019, Hong Kong ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F

    Over night stay at the Hong Kong Airport. Our flight does not leave till 1:10pm on the 15th. Homeless for a night.... lol. 😂

    We have water, food, shelter.... and most of all... power and internet for our electronics. 💯❤️

    Update 1: good morning!
    *so it looks like our flight is delayed till 4pm. If we leave on time we get to San Francisco at 1pm... hoping to catch a 2:30 flight... doubt that will happen. 😩

    Update 2: 12:29pm HK time
    So I paid the extra $50 (per person) to hold the 8:55pm SanFran plane to get us back to Vegas tonight. Arriving at 1pm with a 7hr layover.... better be enough time ...lol

    Update 3:
    So our plane got delayed again till 8pm BUT our flight in San Fran is 4 hrs after we land. Crossing our fingers there is no issues with that flight.
