it was magical...

Bali was magical. An amazing 3 weeks traveling around Bali and the Gili Islands.  It is funny to write this post as I sit next to a fire sipping hot cider.  Bali was only 2 weeks ago and although my suntan is fading the impression Bali made on me is still strong.  

Here are some of my memories...

admiring nature

enjoying Balinese food

watching breathtaking sunsets

taking a Batik class

watching my husband paint a batik!

the generous and wonderful Balinese people

being invited to a special ceremony

riding a horse cart on an island with no cars.

watching the sunset with the feeling of complete inner peace

the beautiful statues

the amazing salt water pools

the market in Ubud

the offerings

the ladies who balance the world on their heads

the decorations everywhere (this was for a wedding)

being in love

the island of Gili Air...my favorite place

the mohito's with chili peppers!

the dance

Some things you can not capture on film:  

The smell of incense outside, everywhere.

The feeling of absolute calm.

Hearing a little voice from behind a gate yell at us, "Hello, I love you." (this really happened!)

The inspiration I brought back in my head and in my heart.
