The highlight of the evening was the Legong Dance in Pura Delem Temple in Ubud.

Each evening there are several dance companies that perform a variety of traditional Balanese Dances.

Each morning starts with men in the rice fields yelling in loud voices or banging corrugated metal to scare the birds away from the rice.  It may be old fashioned, but it is quite effective.

Sandy was able to meet the man who reproduced a festival dragon head from a picture she took while we lived in Tokyo.

There was a minor miscommunication however, Sandy wanted it to be 40 inches, he made it 40 centimeters.

She took it anyway and ordered the larger one also.

Murni’s Wartung is a great Indonesian restaurant in Ubud that is 4 – 5 fligts of stairs down from street level in a river gourge.

The tropical vegatation is 80-100m feet high and offers a spectatular view especially when lite up at night and you see the occasional Komodo dragon wandering the river bank.

The food is special as seen in the picture of the Balanese duck entree.

Trip Advisor gives the restaurant special commendation.
