I am having a problem with my email.  I can send but I am receiving nothing.  The computer tech tried for 30 minutes and he cannot find the  problem so I can get comments here only.

To bring you all up to date I along with Pat, Joan and Pete went to the Canaletto for the first time and enjoyed the meal .  Hadjah who was our waiter that evening is also the guy who waits on me for breakfast at the Lido.  At the Mariners Cocktail Party he was honored for being an employee for 30 years.  The day after our Canaletto dinner he left the ship for seven months.

I really enjoyed Bali, Indonesia.  I did have a formal tour since I had never been here before.  The Barong dance is a drama depicting the combat between good and evil with  gongs and percussion instruments.  We also viewed the wood carving techniques and the different eras of Balinese art through depth perception depictions.

The dominate religion in Bali is Hinduism.  I  thought this offering was quite unique.  Note the rice.

Bali is beautiful and another interesting thing I saw were fishermen up to their waist in water with their fishing poles.  The water is very shallow quite away from land.

When we got back to the ship we had to get ready for our special Mariner’s night.  The theme this year was Indonesia and these two little children were dressed in the costumes found in the Barong dance as were many other characters there that night.  The decorations and the music and shows were spectacular.
