Well, I wrote a long entry about our time in Inle Lake, and I tried three times to publish, to no avail. Went to find it tonight and it is nowhere to be found! Tak apa apa, as they say in Malay - never mind, I suppose, but frustrating!
We have been in Bali with our friends, Pui San and Tom, who is an old high school friend of mine, for 5 or 6 days now. We got here two days before Bali's new year celebration, Niepi. All the villages spend a good part of the year creating papier mache giant puppets, called agoh agoh, that are paraded then burned on Niepi Eve (it is year 1935 in Bali, by the way). A couple favorite agoh agoh in Ubud:
Honestly, much like Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre's May Day production, if you are from Minnesota!
We are now at the Batur volcano area - rainy and ruggedly beautiful. Headed up to the north coast tomorrow - Lovina.
Let's see if this posts! Hope you all are well!
